| 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 east
|
| 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 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
|
