[Spoken Word]
“They keep saying the word like it changes something.
Like putting a halo on it makes it heavier.
I didn’t wake up trying to be remembered.
I just didn’t want to watch someone fall.”
[Intro - Instrumental]
[Verse 1]
I didn’t hear a choir
Didn’t feel the ground shake
No slow-motion moment
No choice to overthink
Just a body losing balance
And a second ticking fast
You don’t weigh the future
When the present’s about to crack
[Pre-Chorus]
If I’d looked away
I’d still be standing
But I wouldn’t recognize myself
[Chorus]
So don’t call me a hero
I don’t wear that name
I didn’t do it for glory
Didn’t do it for praise
I just did what was right
When it mattered that day
No halo needed
I’m human that way
[Verse 2]
They love a clean headline
Something easy to say
But life’s not a movie
And courage doesn’t wait
It’s messy, it’s quiet
It doesn’t ask to be seen
It just steps in the moment
Where silence would’ve screamed
[Pre-Chorus]
I didn’t stop to ask
What it’d cost me
Some things don’t give you time
[Chorus]
So don’t call me a hero
I don’t wear that name
I didn’t do it for glory
Didn’t do it for praise
I just did what was right
When it mattered that day
No halo needed
I’m human that way
[Bridge]
If doing the right thing
Makes me something more
Then what does that say
About what we ignore?
Maybe the bar’s too low
If this feels rare
Maybe we’re all capable
If we actually care
[Final Chorus (bigger, but controlled)]
So don’t call me a hero
Just call me awake
Call me someone who refused
To look the other way
I don’t need a spotlight
Or a name carved in flame
I just did what was right
And I’d do it again
[Outro - Instrumental]
[Spoken Word]
“Heroes chase the moment.
I just caught it before it hit the ground.”
