Time ago, when I was still a zero

I idolized someone I found a hero

Days and days went by

And those days sure did fly

Weak, soft, dumb, and not collected

I've found someone on who I can be reflected.

Those weeks, when I've become a one

Those days when I decided "This has to be done"

In the heroes shoes, I've tried walking 

But all I did was their way of talking

And so, I still stood bland

In my little land.

After that time, so long ago

Though my progress was slow

It's still going and going

That hero in me is still brewing

That I, from day one, dreamt off

With no clue, he would ever send me off.

Today I stand, as a ten in my eyes

My life turned around, and I've gotten wiser

Strong, confident, well and collected

Something I achieved that I detected

So for the time being, this is how I'll live

and see what this life has to give.
