When I was young at heart, I never had much money
But I never let faith depart, I kept it right beside me
When I was only seventeen, I knew just what I wanted to be
On the stage, on the front page with the spotlight shining
The spotlight shining on me
Take a chance to be a hero, a chance to play in this game
A chance to be somebody who you're gonna recognize my name
A chance to be a hero, a shot at the big time
A chance to be somebody new, a chance to be a hero
Funny, how time can fly right through you fingers
When the parade passes by, you know it's too late then
When your lifelong fantasy floats underneath the door
Down the stairs, out on the street, it won't be coming back
It won't be coming back anymore
Take a chance to be a hero, a chance to play in this game
A chance to be somebody who you're gonna recognize my name
A chance to be a hero, a shot at the big time
A chance to be somebody new, a chance to be a hero
When your lifelong fantasy floats underneath the door
Down the stairs, out on the street, it won't be coming back
It won't be coming back anymore
Take a chance to be a hero, a chance to play in this game
A chance to be somebody who you're gonna recognize my name
A chance to be a hero, a shot at the big time
A chance to be somebody new, I only wanna be
Only wanna be, I wanna be a hero
Engelbert Humperdinck (1854-1921) è stato un compositore tedesco, noto soprattutto per l'opera Hansel e Gretel, una delle opere più popolari del repertorio operistico. Nato a Bonn, Humperdinck studiò musica al Conservatorio di Berlino. La sua carriera musicale iniziò come organista e insegnante di canto. Nel 1886 debuttò con l'opera Il principe di Homburg. Hansel e Gretel, composta nel 1893, fu un successo immediato e lo consacrò come uno dei compositori più importanti del suo tempo. L'opera è caratterizzata da una melodia dolce e malinconica, che evoca l'atmosfera magica e misteriosa della fiaba di fratelli Grimm. Oltre a Hansel e Gretel, Humperdinck compose altre opere, tra cui Il re di labirinto e La principessa del castello. Le sue composizioni sono caratterizzate da un'atmosfera romantica e lirica, con una forte influenza della tradizione musicale tedesca.
