Tied a blanket to my back
Used a napkin as my mask

          I thought I was a
                       hero
                     I thought I was a
                                  hero

Wrote my name across my cape
Made a suit from paper and tape

           I thought I was a
                       hero
                     I thought I was a
                                 hero

Launching off of couches
          I was determined to fly
Climbing trees, and hide and seek
          Thought I would never die

​           I was a hero
​​​                                    a hero
                    ​​  a hero to me
​          and so a hero
​​​                                    a hero
​​                        a hero I'll be

Broke my nose on a test run
Flying's easier said than done

​          I thought I was a
​​                      hero
​​                     I thought I was a
​​​                                 hero

But now I'm older, know while I can't fly
There's another way to soar through life

​          I think that I'm a
                     hero
​​                   I think that I'm a
                              hero

I'll let my imagination run
​          I know I'll reach my dreams
I found a new couch to try
​          And this time, I'll succeed

​          for I am a hero
​​​                                        a hero
​​                         a hero to me
​          and so a hero
​​​                                      a hero
​​                         a hero I'll be
