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.
