Little Hercules

Intro: So you cannot lift a spirit that has turned to lead Or shine a light in shadow when the batteries are dead Or fly like a bird over all the works of man Or always think of the perfect words But you do the best you can Nothing seems as easy as it did when you were young Myths may be invincible, but we are only strong Strong like a memory, strong like a willow in the wind Strong as you'll ever be You will always need to bend And if you feel the weight of the world Put your mind at ease Little Hercules INTERLUDE: There are times when being a grown-up gets to be too much And your sense of humour seems to vanish in the crush Of the daily 9 to 9 that keeps your family alive You're just putting in your time Does anyone really go home at 5? You've made a life where no one ever tells you what to do And now the only tyrant that you're working for is you It's never easy to keep all the promises you make No one's gonna get you fired You just give yourself a break And if you feel the weight of the world Put your mind at ease Little Hercules 'Cause there's so much on your shoulders But you know it's a breeze Little Hercules INTERLUDE: La da da da da da da da La da da da da da da da So you cannot lift a spirit that has turned to lead Or shine a light in shadow when the batteries are dead And if you feel the weight of the world Put your mind at ease Little Hercules 'Cause there's so much on your shoulders But you know it's a breeze Little Hercules And when you feel the weight of the world Put your mind at ease Little Hercules OUTRO: Little Hercules La da da da da da da da Little Hercules La da da da da da da da
