I’ve been beat up, I’ve been knocked down, till I’ve forgotten what it was to walk tall 
I’m scared of the dark, I’m scared of the light, and I’m frightened by my shadow on the wall 
I’m down on my knees when I beg you, Lord, can you save a weak coward like me 
You don’t make me wait, You just lift me up, and keep lifting till You know I can see 

CHORUS 
That I can be a hero 
A champion of the frightened soul 
I can face monsters 
I can move mountains whole 
I can be strong, I can right wrong 
I can walk straight into a crashing wave 
I can be brave 


I’ve been beat up, I’ve been knocked down but they can not keep me down today 
Because you told me you’d walk with me and you’ll be walking with me all of the way 
So why should I fear when Satan comes, we can take on all the armies he can bring 
Just take my hand and lead me on, let the whole world know my Father is a king 


CHORUS 

I can be a hero  
I can be a wonder 
I can move mountains  
I can make thunder 
I can be strong, I can right wrong 
I can walk straight into a crashing wave 
I can be brave 

(music and lyrics by Mary James)
