Hero

Hero 

I know who you are
Your secret is busted 
My spider sense tingles
It can always be trusted 

The bad guys are nervous
They can't see through your glasses
All evil's on hold 
While you're kicking their asses 

And though your invincible status is real
The people who know 
See the pain that you feel 

For the toughened exterior shell you may show 
Hides a weakness, 
A softness, 
That no-one can know 

But slow down there Tonto
Put the Bat-cave on hold..
Can I download a theory?
If I can be so bold.. 

Let's re-wind the story 
To that time at the start
With the hero-gene planted
Somewhere.. deep in your heart(s) 

Some words may be kryptonite 
And the world makes you frown.
Strength is far beyond physical
They just can't take you down 

For buried way deep inside you
A flickering light
If you throw down the saber
Find it quietly you might.. 

For the wonder of being a woman
It seems
Or a man with a cape
Or a child filled with dreams 

Is that promise of Peace 
And that Hope of renew
For the phone rings; 
A message..
That hero is you.
