Lyrics
Dream Hero Daddy
I'd like to be a hero tho my wife and little ones
Riding on a stallion into each of their lives
The wish to be a hero is every daddys' dream
But the only hero that I know is riding in my dreams
{Chorus}
Dream hero daddy...can do anything
He's a fireman, a lawyer a doctor,and a king.
He's catching all the outlaws,
He's funny sometimes sweet,
He's a dream Hero daddy, riding in his dreams.
I've seen them all on tv, the heros of our time,
Danger doesn't phase them
And some of them can fly.
The daylight hours I work my job like all the other men
But in my dreams a hero rides where no one else has been
(Chorus)
Now the children do not fantasize over what their daddy does, they do not need a hero, they only need his love. So if you're a dreaming daddy, you better wake up wake up quick, your children will be waking up, dreaming of their past.
(chorus)
(alternate additional verse)
Now Jesus is my daddy, he's a hero and he;s a king.
Some day He'll come riding in, and it won't be a dream,
I know He hears me singing and calling out His name,
And I am sure He"s hoping you will choose to do the same.
(chorus
