Try to tell me I was nothing
Try to tell me I was none
Try to show them I was something
One day I'll be number one

Still you tried to pull me under
Still you tried to shoot me down
Like a man I took a stand and
And learn to hold my head up high

And that's the reason why
No one can deny
I can show you

What you see ain't always really what you get
Anyone can be a hero

Tried to stop me from believing
Tried to take my dreams away
Stood my ground I wasn't leaving
I will show them all one day

Still you tried to pull me under
Still you tried to shoot me down
Like a man I took a stand and
And learn to hold my head up high

And that's the reason why
No one can deny
I can show you

What you see ain't always really what you get
Anyone can be a hero
