"The Hero" 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
