Owl City - Not All Heroes Wear Capes Lyrics

[Verse 1]

He doesn’t fight crime

Or wear a cape

He doesn’t read minds

Or levitate

But every time my world needs saving

He’s my Superman

Some folks don’t believe in heroes

‘Cause they haven’t met my dad

[Instrumental Bridge 1]

[Verse 2]

He loves his workshop

And rock ‘n roll

He’s got a hot rod

And a heart o’ gold

And you could say he’s a man of few
words

But he talks a lot within

And even though’ I’m a little taller

I still look up to him

[Chorus]

He built me a house in the arms of a tree

He taught me to drive and to fight and to dream

When he looks in my eyes I hope he can see that

My dad’s a hero to me

[Instrumental Bridge 2]

[Verse 3]

Rust ridden fenders

And doors full of dings

Somehow he can fix about anything

I didn’t think he knew how to cry

‘Til our dog died that year

He doesn’t always say I love you

But I can hear him loud and clear

[Chorus]

He built me a house in the arms of a tree

He taught me to drive and to fight and to dream

When he looks in my eyes I hope he can see

That my dad’s a hero to me

[Instrumental Bridge 3]

[Chorus]

He built me a house in the arms of a tree

He taught me to drive and to fight and to dream

When he looks in my eyes I hope he can see

That my dad’s a hero to me

[Outro (x2)]

(My dad’s a hero)

(My dad’s a hero)

(My dad’s a hero)

My dad’s a hero to me
