He wants to rule the world but can he on his own? First he's got to find his Queen to share his golden throne He'll know he's met her when their spirits face to face Then they can rule the world and heal the human race Because he only wants to be a hero He wants to fly but his wings won't let him go He wants to travel but don't want to go solo Daddy when I grow up I want to be a silent hero Standing by a legacy that wasn't very bad Chained to a history that wasn't always sad His Mother and his Father said that boy you should be glad He had pride and respect for everything he had Shadows pursue me, confusing my life Causing me grief, sometimes causing me strife Enjoy your youth 'cause it doesn't last very long Do you know the words to your song Daddy when I grow up I want to be a silent hero Daddy when I grow up I want to be a silent hero I am a hero, You are a hero, He be a hero, She be a hero
