You look at me

And think I know

The answers to

The whole world's woe

I try to be

All you expect

To live up to

What you project

I never want

To let you down

But it's so hard

To be profound

Though in your eyes

I reign supreme

Just as I am

You still love me

But little one

The day will come

When you will face

The world alone

Without me there

To keep you safe

I hope you'll have

The strength to face

All of the things

That come your way

And so I strive

To teach each day

A little bit

Of what you need

To face the world

In word and deed

In the future

I hope you still

Think I'm this great

I hope you will

Grow strong and true

And that I'll be

Your hero when

You're old as me
