Child's Hero

Verse 1: I wake up early, it’s just me and the sun, Daddy’s already gone, the day’s just begun. I ask my mom where he goes all day, She smiles and says, "He’s got work to play." Pre-Chorus: I wanna know, I wanna see, What makes him so strong, what sets him free. Why’s he gone when the world’s asleep? Is he out there fighting, taking risks for me? Chorus: What do you do, Daddy, when you're gone so long? Are you out there saving the day, or righting all the wrongs? Are you battling bad guys, or flying through the air? Tell me, Daddy, what’s your secret—tell me why you’re always there? Verse 2: I draw you pictures of a world so wide, With you as the hero, I feel so proud inside. You wear a cape, but I never see it fly, Does it get too tangled when you’re chasing the bad guys? Pre-Chorus: I wanna know, I wanna hear, How you keep the world safe, and what you fear. Do you fight with fire, do you stand in the rain? Do you save the day, and feel no pain? Chorus: What do you do, Daddy, when you're gone so long? Are you out there saving the day, or righting all the wrongs? Are you battling bad guys, or flying through the air? Tell me, Daddy, what’s your secret—tell me why you’re always there? Bridge: Now I stand where his boots once lay, The world he built still stands today. No dragons slain, no wars to tell, Just a man who worked through heaven and hell. A kid once thought he saved mankind, But it was my future he had in mind. Grease on his hands, steel in his core, My hero fought for something more. Chorus: What do you do, Daddy, when you're gone so long? Are you out there saving the day, or righting all the wrongs? Are you battling bad guys, or flying through the air? Now, Daddy, I realize your secret—I know why you’re always there? Outro:
