Tights and Capes

I'm a fan of superheros
Complete with tights and capes.
But it is not a costume
That does a hero make.

What about the quiet hero,
Steadfast and unafraid?
What about the heroes standing beside us
Through the problems of each day?

What about the hero leading by example
Carrying on and seeing through?
What about the hero who doesn't need violence,
Who can fight for a cause with words too?

Yes, I'm a fan of superheroes
Complete with tights and capes.
But it's the heart behind the emblem
That does a hero make.

We can't spend our days waiting around
Hoping to be saved.
It takes only a cause and willpower
For a true hero to be made.

I'll always be a fan of superheroes
Complete with tights and capes.
Because it seems to me they exist to show us
What great heroes we can all make.
