You’ve all heard of superman
And spiderman and ironman
And to you, they’re all heroes.
But I bet you don’t know
The heroes that I have.

Instead of capes, they wear a smile.
Instead of power, they seek to learn.
Instead of fighting wrong, they fight back tears,
‘cause they know they must be brave.
My little heroes.

They wake up, each day is new
Their plans change, people leave their lives.
And they say, “Where’s my hero?”
But I bet they don’t know
The heroes that they are.

Instead of capes, they wear a smile.
Instead of power, they seek to learn.
Instead of fighting wrong, they fight back tears,
‘cause they know they must be brave.
My little heroes.

Their hearts are stronger than
A fist of steel or any magic found
And they say, “I’m no hero.”
They are kids who love to laugh.
They’re my heroes every day.

Instead of capes, they wear a smile.
Instead of power, they seek to learn.
Instead of fighting wrong, they fight back tears,
‘cause they know they must be brave.
My little heroes.

They are kind, they are smart.
They know just what to say.
What more could you ask for
In a hero?

Instead of capes, they wear a smile.
Instead of power, they seek to learn.
Instead of fighting wrong, they fight back tears,
‘cause they know they must be brave.
My little heroes.
