I watched a child crawl on the floor
pondering airplanes, tailspins, and war
moved by the valor, he committed his life
to joining those men in the sky
his head held high, his heart held tight

tall with broad shoulders
the strongest soldier
if you're gonna be a superhero
you don't have to hide your alter ego

some release secrets like cascading bombs
others imprison them deep in the vault
don't be afraid, or laugh it off like you're kidding
to your whispers, i promise to listen
i'm only your brother, i'm not the villain

tall with broad shoulders
the strongest soldier
if you're gonna be a superhero
you don't have to hide your alter ego
you don't have to hide your alter ego
monuments and glory
names etched in stone
valiant stories get told by the men who came home

whoa-oh, tall with broad shoulders
the strongest soldier
if you're gonna be a superhero
you don't have to hide your alter ego

if you're gonna be a superhero
you don't have to hide your alter ego
you don't have to hide your alter ego
you don't have to hide your alter ego"
