Meaning: None of us set out to be a hero, but it can happen unexpectedly based solely on our actions.
Trivia bit #1: Originally written when I had a brief online encounter with Milo Ventimiglia, I thought it would be fun to write a song from the viewpoint of his character Peter Petrelli from Heroes.
Trivia bit #2: My first tattoo I ever got is a part of this song – it’s on my left shoulder.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I’m getting glimpses of the man I’m to be
They’re pushing me on a historic journey
Its my turn to be someone this time around
I start with flying then I’m falling upside down

[Chorus]
But I can fly
I can heal
Sketch things that will be real
Inside my mind I wanna feel
I’m disconnected as your Hero Unexpected

[Verse 2]
I begin to understand all the reasons
A stranger says save her to save the world
I’m determined to be going down that highway
Knowing I could die to prevent her death

[Chorus]
I hear your thoughts
Control matter
Or jump through space & time
Inside my mind I wanna be fine
I’m disconnected as your Hero Unexpected

[Bridge]
I’ve got to learn
To take control
Clear my head and let you in
Or I may explode

[Chorus]
I can change face
Disappear
I may go nuclear
Inside my mind I have no fear
I’m disconnected as your Hero Unexpected
I’m disconnected as your Hero Unexpected
Hero Unexpected
