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
