So they ask me who's your hero
And I've never really known what to say
Because that's a powerful label for a powerful person
A superman, a godly man, the one with all the answers - so I'm told
But who I believe is my hero gives his love and never really knows his impact
Conducts my world with a heart of gold
Sharing lifetime tips and realistic hints
A superman of the middle school band
Underneath it all not quite six feet tall
He's the mister of all misters
And I'm his biggest fan
Genuine, sincerely kind
He's Mr. Saltzman
I wish they could understand what he gave me
It's not the trumpet ties, the "Summertime" cries, but what I knew much deeper
Every week with every beat I felt myself grow stronger
Into the man when I'll conduct my band and you know who I'll be thinking of
The mister of all misters
And I'm his biggest fan
Genuine, sincerely kind
He's Mr. Saltzman
Your life is how I dream mine will be
Outside the walls of constraints and defeat
It's given me the hope that
Someday I'll be the hero they see
It started with you
So I just need to let you know that you're my hero
You've inspired me to one day be the man with all the answers
I'll be the superman of some honorary band sharing lifetime tips and realistic hints
Because you have made my future days into the dream where I'll be
The mister of all misters
Making dreams for potential fans
Genuine, sincerely kind
Thank you Mr. Saltzman
