So you cannot lift a spirit that has turned to lead
Or shine a light in shadow when the batteries are dead
Or fly like a bird over all the works of man
Or always think of the perfect words
But you do the best you can

Nothing seems as easy as it did when you were young
Myths may be invincible but we are only strong
Strong like a memory
Strong like a willow in the wind
Strong as you'll ever be you will always need to bend
And if you feel the weight of the world
Put your mind at ease
Little Hercules
There are times when being a grownup gets to be too much
And your sense of humor seems to vanish in the crush
Of the daily nine to nine that keeps your family alive
You're just putting in your time
Does anyone really go home at five
You've made a life where no one tells you what to do
Now the only tyrant that you're working for is you
It's never easy to keep all the promises you make
No one's gonna get you fired if you just give yourself a break
And if you feel the weight of the world
Put your mind at ease
Little Hercules
'Cause there's so much on your shoulders
But you know it's a breeze
Little Hercules
yeah
La da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da
So you cannot lift a spirit that has turned to lead
Or shine a light in shadow when the batteries are dead
But if you feel the weight of the world
Put your mind at ease
Little Hercules
'Cause there's so much on your shoulders
But you know it's a breeze
Little Hercules
And when you feel the weight of the world
Put your mind at ease
Little Hercules
Little Hercules
La da da da da da da da
Little Hercules
La da da da da da da da
