Stan Bush - Everybody Needs a Hero lyrics

He Wakes Up And Calls His Daddy's Name His Eyes Light Up, As He Walks In He's No Knight In Shining Armour, He's No Superman And How His Son Could Look Up To Him He'll Never Understand And In This Young Boy's Eyes, He Sees The Man Who Can Do No Wrong He Believes In Fairy Tales And Santa Claus And The Gold Over The Rainbow But The Man's Just Flesh And Blood He'll Never Measure Up To What He Sees In Him Oh, God Knows Everybody Needs A Hero Toy Soldiers In The Attics Storybooks All Put Away He Don't Act The Way He Used To His Mind's On Other Things These Days 'Saw The Broken Gla** In The Mirror And The Bruise Under Mama's Eye This Man He Thought The World Of Now He's Wishin' He Would Die Childhood Dreams And Innocence Fade Away Those Days Are Gone When He Believed In Fairy Tales And Santa Claus And The Gold Over The Rainbow But The Man's Just Flesh And Blood Could Never Measure Up To What He Saw In Him Oh, God Knows Everybody Needs A Hero He Had His First Child The Day His Daddy Pa**ed Away And Sometimes When He Looks At Him He Can See His Daddy's Face Well He Learned Life's Hard Lesson He'll Never Be The Same He'll Dedicate His Heart To The One Who Bears His Name And In The Child's Eyes He Sees The Man Who Can Do No Wrong, Oh No He Believes In Fairy Tales And Santa Claus And The Gold Over The Rainbow But The Man's Just Flesh And Blood He'll Never Measure Up To What He Sees In Him Oh, God Knows Everybody Needs A Hero
