Expectation, Desire, Reality

I will always be trying to become my hero, but better

I will always get stuck being a little bit less, though

I will always be trying to become your hero, but real

I will always get stuck being a little bit less, though

I will always be trying to become everyone's hero, but honest

I will always get stuck being a little bit less, though

I will always be trying to become my mother's hero, but reliable

I will always get stuck being a little bit less, though

I will always be trying to be my brother's hero, but clean

I will always get stuck being a little bit less, though

I will always be trying to be my buddies' hero, but caring

I will always get stuck being a little bit less, though

I will always be trying to be my heroes' hero, but recent

I will always get stuck being a little bit less, though

I will always be trying to be my father's hero, but smarter

I will always get stuck being a little bit less, though

I will always be trying to be my dead grandfather's hero, but young

I will always get stuck being a little bit less, though

I will always be trying to be my country's hero, but benevolent

I will always get stuck being a little bit less, though

I will always be trying to be my friends' hero, but strong

I will always get stuck being a little bit less, though

I will always be trying to be my church's hero, but open-minded

I will always get stuck being a little bit less, though

I will always be trying to be my love's hero, but brave

II will always get stuck being a little bit less, though

I will always be trying to be the cynic's hero, but charming

I will always get stuck being a little bit less, though
