The man in the picture
He didn't fly through the air
He's no superhero, he's sure no millionaire
He didn't walk on the moon, he didn't save the world today
But he's my hero anyway
We all need a hero
Someone to follow
Someone to look up to
A good role model
But well I'm sitting here looking at an old photograph upon my wall
The man in the picture had it all
Yeah, the man in the picture
He didn't fly through the air
He's no superhero, he's sure no millionaire
He didn't walk on the moon, he didn't save the world today
But he's my hero anyway
Walkin' through the backblocks, kids on the street
I wonder why they're angry all the time
Well they're all out there searchin'
For something they just don't find
I guess they need a hero like mine
Well, like the man in the picture
He didn't fly through the air
He's no superhero, he's sure no millionaire
He didn't walk on the moon, he didn't save the world today
But he's my hero anyway
If I had a wish today, I wouldn't wish for riches
I wouldn't wish for flashy cars, or fancy gritches
I'd wish that someday my son would take my picture, and say
That man in the picture
Didn't fly through the air
He's no superhero, he's sure no millionaire
He didn't walk on the moon, he didn't save the world today
But he's my hero anyway
A kind and gentle man
The best friend I ever had
He's my hero, he's my dad
That man in the picture
He's my hero, he's my dad
That man in the picture
He's my hero, he's my dad
The man in the picture
He's my hero, he's my dad
That man in the picture
