Uncle Ben Sings a Song lyrics

I know I'm not your dad, I won't try
But I promise that I'll always be the good guy
A game of catch or just a shoulder for you to cry
Peter you can reach the damn sky!

We'll beat the odds, and carry on, whatever comes our way
I won't pretend to be your father, not a game I'll play
I'll take the challenge, I'm a fighter, no I'm not afraid
So Peter, come what MAY...

I know you'll reach the stars, with your abilities
I'll teach you love, I'll teach you trust, teach you humility
I'll give you hope, A life with endless possibilities
With great powеr, comes, great responsibility

Givе you the space to grow, you need stability
When you get down I'll nurture all your vulnerabilities
Teach you to earn respect, accountability
With great power, comes, great responsibility

You are the smartest kid, I know your future's bright
It gets you thinking when you're wrong, that you're right
At times you let us down, at school you're starting fights
You go out in the cold night

I'm sorry Peter but, I think my time has come
It breaks my heart I'll never see the man that you'll become
Now lean in close and hear the words before I soon succ*mb
I love you like my own son
I know you'll reach the stars, with your abilities
I'll teach you love, I'll teach you trust, teach you humility
I'll give you hope, A life with endless possibilities
With great power, comes, great responsibility

Give you the space to grow, you need stability
When you get down I'll nurture all your vulnerabilities
Teach you to earn respect, accountability
With great power, comes, great responsibility

My time is up, and I'm leaving
Don't take revenge, and no grieving
Live a life of hope, and of meaning
Peter I believe in, you...

(softer)
I know you'll reach the stars, with your abilities
I'll teach you love, I'll teach you trust, teach you humility
I'll give you hope, A life with endless possibilities
With great power, comes, great responsibility

Give you the space to grow, you need stability
When you get down I'll nurture all your vulnerabilities
Teach you to earn respect, accountability
With great power, comes, great responsibility
I know you'll reach the stars, with your abilities
I'll teach you love, I'll teach you trust, teach you humility
I'll give you hope, A life with endless possibilities
With great power, comes, great responsibility

Give you the space to grow, you need stability
When you get down I'll nurture all your vulnerabilities
Teach you to earn respect, accountability
With great power, comes, great responsibility
