[Intro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 1]
When I was young I used to have my way
Of fighting crime in the hallways
Where's my towel? I need to use my cape
I'm gonna save the day
I'm gonna save the day
As I grew older everything changed
I couldn't stay the same
Stuffed my feelings in a leather suitcase
A hard truth to face
No, I can't turn back time and that's okay
But in the back of my mind I can still hear my father say
[Chorus]
Oh son, just letting you know
In this world you gotta be your own hero
Oh boy, wherever you go
Don't forget you gotta be your own
Your own hero
Your own hero
[Verse 2]
It will cost a couple drops of sweat
But you'll see things that you won't forget
Won't be easy, there'll be tears to shed
But you won't ever regret
Like a flagpole on a mountain top
Gotta show 'em, give 'em all you got
Imagination running wild and free
Just like it used to be
No, I can't turn back time and that's okay
But in the back of my mind I can still hear my father say
[Chorus]
Oh son, just letting you know
In this world you gotta be your own hero
Oh boy, wherever you go
Don't forget you gotta be your own
Your own hero
Your own hero
[Bridge]
I ain't no superman
But I'm gonna do the best that I can
Yes, an ordinary man can still be a hero
I ain't no superman
But I'm gonna do the best that I can
Yes, an ordinary man can still be a hero
(Can still hear my father say)
[Chorus]
Oh son, just letting you know
In this world you gotta be your own hero
Oh boy, wherever you go
Don't forget you gotta be your own
Oh son, just letting you know
In this world you gotta be your own hero
Oh boy, wherever you go
Don't forget you gotta be your own
Your own hero
[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
