One Last Hope

So ya wanna be a hero kid
Well whoop de do

I have been around the block before
With block heads just like you

Each and ev'ryone a disappointment
Pain for which there ain't no ointment
So much for excuses
Though a kid of zeus is
Asking me to jump into the fray

My answer is two words

OK

Uff oh
You win

Oh Gods

Oy vay

I'd given up hope that someone would come

Along

A fellow who'd ring the bell for once
Not the gong

The kind who wins trophies
Won't settle for low fees
At least semi pro fees
But no I get the green horn
I've been out to pasture pal my ambition gone

Content to spend lazy days and to graze my lawn

But you need an advisor
A satyr but wiser

A good merchandiser
And oohh
There goes my ulcer
I'm down to one last hope
And I hope it's you

Though kid you're not exactly
A dream come true

I've trained enough turkeys

Who never came through

You're my one last hope
So you'll have to do

Demi Gods have faced the odds
And ended up a mockery

Don't believe the stories
That you read on all the crockery
To be a true hero kid is a dying art

Like painting a master piece it's a work of heart

It takes more than sinew

Comes down to what's in you

You have to continue to grow
Now that's more like it

I'm down to one last shoot
And my last high note

Before that blasted under world
Gets my goat

My dreams are on you kid

Go make 'em come true

Climb that uphil slope
Keep pushing that envelope

You're my one last hope
And kid it's up to you
Yea
