You've got to believe in yourself
You've got to be no one else, but yourself
You've got a dream you can see
You've got to know you can be a Hero, a Hero
My father came to America for a chance to be free
A man with so many dreams and one especially for me
He said I had the power of endless possibilities
When I'm ready I'll show the world all of my abilities
He said, "You have to believe you've got the chance to do right"
You've got to be your own hero and tell your own Story
Be your own hero and find your own Glory
I didn't know what my father was talking about,
So I took a long journey to figure it all out
I followed and became the man that they all wanted me to be,
But deep down inside I really wanted to be free.
Now I know I've got the chance to make it right
You've got to be your own hero and tell your own Story
Be your own hero and find your own Glory
I thought about my heroes and who did I see,
There was Martin Luther and Gandhi, but they didn't look like me
Then I remembered a picture of my dad at thirty-three,
And I realized that my hero was always right in front of me
Now I know I've got to follow my own light cause
You've got to be your own hero and tell your own story
Be your own hero and find your own glory
You've got to be your own hero and tell your own story
Be your own hero and find your own glory
You've got to be your own hero
