Lyrics:

(Lawrence Gowan)
You had the secret everybody envied
That many'd try to find but come up empty
Yeah, you make it easy
Or that's the way you make it seem
So for a day we'll let you
Live out all our dreams
Yeah - This is your big scene
Tender Young Hero
Up from zero
Take a look around
Shouldn't be too long
Unless I'm dead wrong
You'll be shot back down
Well for a while you seemed to act real humble
Then one by one we saw those virtues crumble
You'd snap your fingers
And everyone would start to crawl
Soon you'll be asking
\'What's the meaning of it all\'
Yeah - Then look out for that fall
Tender Young Hero
Up from zero
Take a look around
Shouldn't be too long
Unless I'm dead wrong
You'll be shot back down
Turning the world on
With a passion
That's the life you've found
Tender Young Hero
Bound for zero
You'll be shot back down
So soon that famous face
Will fade forever, will fall from grace
So don't be fooled
Forget your pride
Don't lose your soul
Tender Young Hero
Up from zero
Take a look around
Shouldn't be too long
Unless I'm dead wrong
You'll be shot back down
Turning the world on
With a passion
That's the life you've found
Tender Young Hero
Bound for zero
You'll be shot back down
Tender Young Hero
Tender Young Hero
Tender Young Hero
Tender Young Hero
Tender Young Hero
Tender Young Hero
Gowan Tender Young Hero
