I'm not your savior, no hero am I
Just a simple soul, passing by
With no cape or mask, no powers divine
Just a mere mortal, a flicker in time
But you see me as a knight in shining armor
A protector, a savior, a beacon of honor
With eyes full of longing, you reach out to me
But I'm not the one who can set you free
I am but a reflection of your own desires
A canvas for your dreams, a spark of fires
But I cannot save you, from your own demons
For within you lies, the power of freedom
I know the weight, of your heavy heart
The pain and sorrow, that tears you apart
But my hands are not strong enough
To bear the burden, of your troubled love
I am not the answer, to your every prayer
I cannot lift you up, from your despair
For the journey of healing, must come from within
And only you, can break free from your own sins
You see me as a light, in your darkest night
But I am just a firefly, a flicker of light
I cannot guide you, through your stormy sea
For you have the strength, to find your own way to be
I am not your savior, no matter how much you plead
For I am just a mortal, flawed and weak
But I will walk beside you, through your trials and pain
For in this journey, we both have much to gain
I will hold your hand, and lend you my ear
As you pour out your heart, and let go of your fear
But I cannot save you, from your own mistakes
For only through learning, can wisdom awake
I am not your savior, but I will be your friend
Through the ups and downs, until the very end
I will be there, to pick you up when you fall
But in this life, we must each stand tall
So my dear, don't look to me as your savior
But as a companion, in this journey of labor
For together we'll weather, the storms that may come
And emerge stronger, when the battle is won
I am not your savior, but I'll help you see
The strength and power, that lies within thee
You are your own hero, your own guiding light
And once you embrace it, you'll shine ever so bright
So let go of this notion, that I am your savior
For I am just a friend, who'll stay by your side forever
And as we walk together, through life's winding road
You'll see that you are, your own savior, your own hero.
