"My Own Hero" lyrics

My mother told me never go out alone
She always warned me never stray far from home
Be safe and not sorry
But I really want to be somebody
My father told me you've got to be 10 feet tall
You've gotta climb these castle walls
And don't be scared of your own shadow no
It's gonna follow you wherever you go

I've got to be bold
I've got to be brave
I'm getting stronger now
And I don't need to be saved cause

I'm gonna be my own hero
I'm gonna make it on my own
And with my hands of stone
I'll be my own hero
I'm gonna be my own hero
I'm gonna make it on my own
And with my hands of stone
I'll be my own hero...

My brother told me I know you're strong enough
You've gotta swim sometimes the water is rough
It's hard to take a step when your feet are stuck
So when they knock you down you just keep getting up

I've got to be bold
I've got to be brave
I'm getting stronger now
And I don't need to be saved

I'm gonna be my own hero
I'm gonna make it on my own
And with my hands of stone
I'll be my own hero
I'm gonna be my own hero
I'm gonna make it on my own
And with my hands of stone
I'll be my own hero

I've got to be bold
I've got to be brave
I'm getting stronger now
And I don't need to be saved, no

I'm gonna be my own hero
I'm gonna make it on my own
And with my hands of stone...

I'm gonna be my own hero
I'm gonna make it on my own
And with my hands of stone
I'll be my own hero
I'm gonna be my own hero
I'm gonna make it on my own
And with my hands of stone
I'll be my own hero...
