The fearless giant faced a brave, young shepherd boy,
He said, “Your God is dead and your nation soon destroyed,”
But the son of Jesse proved what God can do in the heart of a hero.

Three men refused to bow to the idol made of gold,
They knew they could burn for not doing what they’re told,
They’d rather face the fire than to kneel to a god made by hands.

It takes the heart of a hero to stand for what’s right, (heart of a hero)
It takes the heart of a hero to lay down your life. (heart of a hero)

Whoa.

There are idols to be worshipped and giants in the land,
They’ll drag you down, attack your faith, and slay you if they can,
So let your heart be filled with the courage and strength of the Lord.

It takes the heart of a hero to stand for what’s right, (heart of a hero)
The heart of a hero to lay down your life. (heart of a hero)

Lay it down,
Hey.
Stand for what’s right,
Whoa.

Have the faith of a child in the power of God, and when you call on his name he will give you the heart of a hero.

Will you stand for what’s right?
Would you lay down your life?
Do you have heart?

Oh, it takes the heart of a hero to stand for what’s right, (heart of a hero)
It takes the heart of a hero to lay down your life, (heart of a hero)
Whoa, it takes the heart of a hero to stand for what’s right, (heart of a hero)
It takes the heart of a hero to lay down your life. (the heart of a hero)

The heart of a hero,
Takes the heart of a hero.
