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
