I Want To Be A Hero
Pokémon 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!

Overall Meaning

The opening verse of the song "I Want To Be A Hero" by Pokémon is a lyrical representation of the journey of Ash Ketchum, portrayed as a kid from the town of Pallet. The town of Pallet provides the introduction to the world of Pokémon, and this line acknowledges this fact. He is optimistic about what lies ahead, despite not knowing what the future has in store for him. He is confident that he can get past whatever lies ahead of him, even if he's unsure of what it will be.

The second verse of the song implies that Ash knows there's so much for him to learn and achieve as a Pokémon trainer. He's already progressed quite far, but he understands that there's always more room for improvement. This light-hearted optimism is reflected in the chorus, where Ash states that he wants to become a hero - a mythical figure of strength and might. The lyrics are accompanied by upbeat music and harmonies that add to the optimistic and adventurous feel of the song. The repetition of key phrases in the chorus highlights Ash's desire to be the best, even though the future is uncertain. The song also puts emphasis on the role of Pokémon in Ash's life as he celebrates the idea of Pokémon training as a heroic feat.
