A HERO COMES HOME (BEOWULF, 2007)

The latest version of the tale of the legendary Beowulf done pure CGI. Broadway actress Idina Menzel provided the end credits version of the song A Hero Comes Home which Robin Wright Penn sang also during the course of the movie.

A HERO COMES HOME

sung by: Idina Menzel

Out of the midst of history he’ll come again

Sailing on ships across the sea to a wounded nation

Signs of a savior like fire on the water

It’s what we’ve prayed for, one of our own!

Just wait though wide he may roam

Always, a hero comes home

He goes where no one has gone

But always, a hero comes home

Deep in the heart of darkness
Sparks a dream of light

Surrounded by hopelessness he finds the will to fight

There’s no surrender always remember

It doesn’t end here, we’re not alone

Just wait though wide he may roam

Always, a hero comes home

He goes where no one has gone

But always, a hero comes home

And he will come back on a crimson tide

Dead or alive

And even though we know the bridge has burned

He will return, he will return

Just wait though wide he may roam

Always, a hero comes home

He knows of places unknown

But always, a hero comes home

Some day he may be carved in stone

The hero comes home

He goes and comes back alone

But always, a hero comes home

Just wait though wide he may roam

Always, a hero comes home
