Hero

It wasn't the leprechaun
It wasn't the Easter bunny
It wasn't Santa Claus
With his cider paws
And his bag of coal
That stole my child
Made me grow old

The man is just a man like any
The man is just a man
The man is just a man like any
The man is just a man

It wasn't the day go down
It wasn't the burning sound
It wasn't years go by and mama died and went under ground
That stole my child made me grow old

The man is just a man like any
The man is just a man
The man is just a man like any
The man is just a man

Now daddy was a man like the heroes on TV
Until I caught him chasing the cat up a tree
And he made the world go round
He made the sun go down
The day I met my dad was the day that I met gravity
The day I met my dad was the day that I touched down
Touched down
Touched down
Touched down

The man is just a man like any
The man is just a man
The man is just a man like any
The man is just a man

Do as I say to do
Not as you see me do
Well I saw you do it
Saw your soul go down in hell
It's just as well
Better than lies

The man is just a man like any
The man is just a man
The man is just a man like any
The man is just a man

Now daddy was the man like the heroes on TV
Until I caught him chasing the cat up a tree

And he made the world go round
He made the sun go down
They day I met my dad was the day that I met gravity
The day I met my dad was the day that I touched down
Touched down
Touched down
Touched down
Touched down
