Doctor Dangerous

I used to dream that I was A mighty superhero, A fantasy that helped me Decide I’m not a zero. But who knew, As I grew, I’d believe it? And many superheroes Have to face their nemesis. Mine was a nasty villain Known as Doctor Dangerous. And he knew, As time flew, I would leave it. ‘Cause childhood fantasies, they Never stay until the end. When we become adults, we Make believe they’re just pretend. But dreams of superheroes Shape how we see ourselves, and Sometimes it gives us courage To rise up and take a stand. If we’re true, To our view, We’ll receive it. But childhood fantasies, they Never stay until the end. When we become adults, we Make believe they’re just pretend. But doesn’t everybody Have their Doctor Dangerous, Who tries to stop the hero From becoming a success? But he’ll lose, If you choose, To achieve it. I used to dream that I was A mighty superhero, A fantasy that helped me Decide I’m not a zero. And who knew, As I grew, I’d believe it?
