Should I become a hero Text und Musik: -J. Hoerder My mother wrote me in a letter that she's lonely now I'm on the road an walking - to the border. Standing at the riverside I've to notice that - I'm sorry. The river is far too wide and controlled by soldiers - on lorries. /: Should I become a hero, I ask you now :/ Well, I cried to my mother standing on the other side Ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, time - is right. An I put off my luggage, my clothes and jumping into the water - my mother cried. /: Should I become a hero, I ask you now :/ Solo /: Should I become a hero, I ask you now :/ But I thought mother, I'm only 100 yards away from home I can't stop now swimming while the soldiers - come. And I drowned and soon noticed that I had no breath any more. I only saw soldiers gun rising and cried mother: "you also com in' home soon!" /: I cried: "Mother, you also comin' home soon!" :/ /: I now a hero, I ask you now? :/
