if you don't lend a hand when a hand needs lending who will
if you don't help your friends when the need befriending who will
when nothing goes right and everything's wrong
when the days are too cold
and the nights are too long
if you won't be there to stand and be strong who will

if you don't risk your neck when a risk needs taking who will
if you don't brake the rules when the rules needs breaking who will
you gotta be tough
and forthright and square
you can't hide your head and pretend you're not there
if we don't fight for what's right and what's fair
who will

everyone has a hero hiding deep inside
waiting to appear
but there is no time left to hide
the moment is now
the place is here

who will risk life and limb
just to help a stranger i will
who will walk through the dark
even though there's danger i will
who'll stay by your side
and take up the cause
who'll give you his strength
his heart and his paws
who'll be your back
your buddy
your friend
we will
