Hero
This 2009 hit by the Christian metal band Skillet was heavily featured in TV and movies because of its powerful anthemic rock sound. The lyrics simply call out for a hero in the dark and desperate times of life. It would work as an opener or mid-tempo style change number, and it also features a short tenor solo over the final chorus.
Instrumentation: Piano/Synth/Guitar/Bass/Drums/Percussion/2 Tpt/2 Tbn/Alto & Tenor Sax

I'm just a step away I'm just a breath away Losin' my faith today We're fallin' off the edge today I am just a man Not superhuman I'm not superhuman Someone save me from the hate It's just another war Just another family torn I'm fallin' from my faith today Just a step from the edge Just another day in the world we live I need a hero to save me now I need a hero to save me now I need a hero to save my life A hero'll save me just in time Who's gonna fight for what's right Who's gonna help us survive We're in the fight of our lives And we're not ready to die Who's gonna fight for the weak Who's gonna make 'em believe I've got a hero Livin' in me I'm gonna fight for what's right Today I'm speaking my mind And if it kills me tonight I will be ready to die A hero's not afraid to give his life A hero's gonna save me just in time I've gotta fight today To live another day Speakin' my mind today My voice will be heard today I've gotta make a stand But I am just a man I'm not superhuman I need a hero to save me now I need a hero to save me now I need a hero to save my life Save me just in time I need a hero Who's gonna fight for what's right Who's gonna help us survive Gotta take a stand, but I'm just a man I need a hero We're in the fight of our lives And we've got to find A hero to save me just in time (Skillet)
