Shane, oh Shane, please come back, I get it now at last
We need you in this deadened world, where real heroes are the past
If you're up there in the mountains, please come down and help us now
You did it back in '53, but hurry, time is running out
You were right to leave that night, the bad guys were all done
You knew what I didn't, my dad was a hero with no gun
Worked the farm with all his might, till he laid down in the field
Done my best to turn his dream into something real
Mother grew old pretty fast, never loved again
Seemed a little strange to me, she was a beauty to the end
Kept a cartridge you had fired, a memory, I suppose
Asked me to put it in her hands, as her sweet eyes finally closed
Shane, oh Shane, please come back, I get it now at last
We need you in this deadened world, where real heroes are the past
If you're up there in the mountains, please come down and help us now
You did it back in '53, but hurry, time is running out
Today's heroes all got superpowers, but ain't one of them that's real
It's like we all need something that none of us can be
The bravery, a destiny, yet safe from any hurt
How bad was that gunshot? I saw the blood in your shirt
If you're even living, perhaps got nothing left
Except feet that never turned to clay, if that's what leaving meant
Didn't need superpowers or invulnerability
Just embraced us all with your quiet humility
So thank you, Shane, for the gifts I could understand
And for those I couldn't, that have helped me be a decent man
Thank you for my dad and mother, and for our farm
Thank you for leaving, and for never being gone
Shane, oh Shane, please come back, I get it now at last
We need you in this deadened world, where real heroes are the past
If you're up there in the mountains, please come down and help us now
You did it back in '53, but hurry, time is running out
