Little Heroes were a popular Australian rock band in the 1980s. They are best known for their hit single "One Perfect Day", which was released in 1982.
Little Heroes were formed from the remnants of The Secret Police. The Secret Police were a popular Melbourne rock band, comprising vocalist/guitarist/songwriter Roger Hart(aka Roger Wells), bassist Neil Walker [Died 1979 from Leukemia] was replaced by John Taylor, drummer Bruce Pumpa, guitarist Andrew Callender, and saxophonist Peter Linley. Secret Police did not issue any records, although posthumously the band contributed the tracks "Emotion" and "Everybody Looks Lonely at Night" to Missing Links' 1981 compilation album The Melbourne Club. In 1980 Hart, Taylor and Pumpa joined keyboardist David Crosbie to start a new band called The Little Heroes.
The new line-up competed in the Victorian State heat of the 1980 Battle of the Sounds, finishing a creditable second. The result was enough to advance The Little Heroes to the national final in Sydney, which they won, earning $5000. This resulted in the band recording and releasing their debut single "She Says"/"Coming Home" in November 1980. On the strength of this independent release they were signed to the Giant Records/CBS label to record their debut album.

And all that I've known what wasn't nailed down will be washed away
My hands are shaking but I will not hesitate
I found the strength to face
The place I fear the most is the place I have to go to see the truth
It's ok to feel lost it just means you're alive
I've told myself a thousand times from the ashes we will rise
It's ok to feel lost walk through the flames and see
You're only left with that you need we're only here for the journey
Am I bold enough to be underlined like sand sifting through time
It all falls in line
Life is a mind field and on one side I'm stuck
I broke the key in the door I tried to unlock
I'm never giving up
The times that haunt you are the things you didn't do not what you did
It's ok to feel lost it just means you're alive
I've told myself a thousand times from the ashes we will rise
It's ok to feel lost walk through the flames and see
You're only left with what you need we're only here for the journey
We find the truth through tragedy
I'm finding new ways to make the same mistake
Putting my dreams on to paper and then folding them into planes
Then I left them go because when in Rome
I set fire to what I love the most
