My Hero

[Trisha:]
She is not like any girl
I'm sorry, woman
You could possibly have known
And she has something
What? A quality!
A thousand strong opinions of her own

And from the moment
She says, "I'm Betty, hi"
And she takes your hand
And looks you in her eyes
You will never be the person
Before you met her

She is strong, she is smart
Open mind, open heart
She is fun, like a lot
All the cool, perfect things
I am not...

She is not afraid to fight
For all the people
Who cannot defend themselves
And she's read every book
The library have listed
On and off the shelves

She will help old ladies
Cross the busy street
Wins a dozen games of chess
And never cheat
And she'll shower you
With kindness and affection
If you let her

She has spunk
She has spine
She's a saint
But of line
Volunteers, 'cause she cares
Human rights, world affairs
She can sing like a pro
Steal your heart
Stop the show
Speaks Chinese, just because
She's the world-rounded girl
I never was...

Everything I aspire to
Things she does
That no one else will do
Makes me wanna ask her
If I met her
What it takes to be
A ten times better me

I would stand on my head
To be her, like I said
Half as brave
Half as good
Could I be?
Yes I could!

She is one
She is wise
And that face
And those eyes
She is kind
Like a light
All those things
I am not

But I love
Yes, I will
I won't stop
Not until
People see
What I see
Betty Boop!
The best of her in me
