lyrics

I want to be your hero
It would be swell to catch you when you fall
Dive in the well to fetch your golden ball
I want to be the one
I want to be your hero
Crawl into Hades, take you to the light
When you're afraid, I'll make it seem all right
Until you see the sun
I want to be your hero

I want to be your knight in armor,
To dash into the dragon's lair
I want to be your princely charmer,
To flash my royal flag and swear
Eternal love
Sweet turtledove

I want to be your hero
Come in the nick of time to save the day
Prove with a click that crime just doesn't pay
And keep you safe and sound
I want to be your hero
To tie the game and score the winning run
Set hearts aflame and, more than anyone
Be who you'll want around
I want to be your hero

I want to be the one you're missing
To be the most unspoiled of men
When there's a villain whom you're hissing,
He'll find that he's been foiled again
By none but me
My bumblebee

I want to be your hero
Ensure your fear is gone without delay
Put maple syrup on your breakfast tray
And chocolate in your hand
I want to be your hero
If I espied your next felicity
And multiplied it exponentially
Like the Sahara's sand
Then I could be your hero
Please let me be your hero
I want to be your hero
