Lyrics
My teacher told me
She wrote it on the board
Help those around you
And do for no reward
Chorus:
`Cos heroes are made
Heroes are made
And not born
My Daddy told me
If you wanna be a lord
Be righteous and fair
But carry a big sword
Chorus
Bridge:
Tell it like it is, tell it like it is, tell it like it is
Repeat
You may lose your way
But to yourself be true
Value those around you
You´ll find your friends will see you through
My brother told me
Go find the holy grail
Keep your eyes on the target
You´ll surely never fail
Chorus
Bridge
My mama told me
Get up with the dawn
Time is a precious jewel
Go harvest the corn
Chorus
