lyrics

The camera cuts across the scene
I’m there for an instant, distant and blurry
With no name or defining features
Forgettable, I’m just a passing vapor
I’ve no right to advance this plot
My name shouldn’t appear in the credits
But the Screenwriter has given me stock
He knows my character and my purpose

I am not the supporting actor
I’m too weak to play that part
And I am not the hero
But the one after the Hero’s heart
(I’m after your heart God)

So, what if I’m not the hero?
What if all of my pride has distorted the story of my life?
What if I’m just a background part
With a strong but subtle story arc
Unknown but to the one who knows my role?
What if I’m not the hero?

What if I’m not the hero?
What if I’m not even named?
What if I’m just an extra with a hopeless desire for fame?
What if I’m a siren distracting other roles?
I am not a shepherd
I am a thief
I am a wolf
