Lyrics: I wanna be a hero The kind of someone that somebody can look up to So I'll wake up tomorrow And try to be a little better like I always do And maybe one day I'll wake up with a cape around my shoulders And I'll be the face that they're puttin' on posters No, I'm no hero right now, but when I'm older I'll smile as the time passes 'cause I know I'm gettin' closer La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la I get tense thinkin' 'bout the present, mm I'm so obsessed with who I'll be in the future, wish I could know sooner But I got to be patient, mm A visionary to the bone, I don't live in the moment 'Cause maybe one day I'll wake up with a cape around my shoulders And I'll be the face that they're puttin' on posters No, I'm no hero right now, but when I'm older I'll smile as the time passes 'cause I know I'm gettin' closer La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la When I was a kid they would call me a comic But one day they'll see me flyin' like a comet And I'm gonna do what they said that I couldn't And prove to the world, I'll prove to the world When I was a kid they would call me a comic But one day they'll see me flyin' like a comet And I'm gonna do what they said that I couldn't And prove to the world that I can be the hero La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la (I can be) La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la (I can be, I can be) La-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
