When I was young I used to have my way
Or find it crying in the hallways
Where's my tower? Need to use my cape
I'm gonna save the day
I'm gonna save the day
As I grew older everything changed
I could've stayed the same
Stuff my feelings in a leather suitcase
A hard truth to face
No, I can't turn back time
And that's okay
But in the back of my mind
I can still hear my father say
Oh son, just let it go
In this world you gotta be your own hero
Oh boy, wherever you go
Don't forget you gotta be your own
Your own hero
Your own hero
It will cost a couple drops of sweat
But you'll see things that you won't forget
Won't be easy, there'll be tears to shed
But you won't ever regret
Like a fleck born on a mountain top
Gotta show, give 'em all you got
Imagination when you're wild and free
Just like it used to be
No, I can't turn back time
And that's okay
But in the back of my mind I can still hear my father say
Oh son, just let it go
In this world you gotta be your own hero
Oh boy, wherever you go
Don't forget you gotta be your own
Your own hero
Your own hero
I ain't no superman
But I'm gonna do the best that I can
Yes, an ordinary man can still be a hero
I ain't no superman
But I'm gonna do the best that I can
Yes, an ordinary man can still be a hero
(Can still hear my father say)
Oh son, just let it go
In this world you gotta be your own hero
Oh boy, wherever you go
Don't forget you gotta be your own
Oh son, just let it go
In this world you gotta be your own hero
Oh boy, wherever you go
Don't forget you gotta be your own
Your own hero
