Paroles de Little Hercules

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 There are times when being a grown-up gets to be too much And your sense of humor 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 Now the only tyrant that you're working for is you It's never easy to keep all the promises you make But no one's gonna get you fired If you'd just give yourself a brake 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 Little Hercules
