I Wanna Be A Hero
David Rolfe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A kid from Pallet town
Whole new world to see
Don't know what's ahead
But it won't get the best of me

There's so much to learn,
Battles to be won
I've advanced so far,
But still there's always more to come

(Take a step and I'm on my way,
Gonna start all over again)

I wanna be a hero
(Pokemon Advanced)
(I'm on my way)
I wanna be a hero
Come on,give me just one chance

And the future will decide
If there's a hero buried deep inside





I wanna be a hero
Pokemon!

These are my favorite lyrics in this song since they reference the Hoenn region’s legendary Pokémon! In fact I think they’re the best group of legendaries to me!
