Red Falcon: "I am not a hero"

I'm going to use this quote for "The Renegades" film for my school's film fest this year.

Am I a hero? 

no

sometimes I ask myself 

"Why do I do this?"

"Why do I do what I do?"

heh, it's simple really

I do it because it's just the right thing to do

I'm usually looked as the hero of this city

for some reason, I hate that

because deep down...

underneath this helmet

I'm just an ordinary guy you pass walking down the street to Seven Eleven

we are all just everyday people

you don't have to be a movie star

or the president of the United States

to contribute to society and make a difference

or make a change

you can be a typical teenager

a stay-at-home mother of four

or a public school teacher

YOU can contribute in SOME way to make things better

even if it's holding a door open for a stranger

helping an old man cross the street

or giving a homeless man your spare change

you may not see it

but that kindness spreads like a disease

a good disease though

making a difference...

I think that is the purpose of life

it's what I live for

it's what keeps me going

it doesn't matter what religion

if you're black or white

or what you believe in

deep down

we are all equal

we are all equal and I can see it clearly 

every day

we are all human beings on this planet earth

I'm not a hero

YOU guys are the heroes

and you don't have to be super

because you are all heroes every single day

I am not a hero

nor am I a villain

I am the Red Falcon
