Hero Zero Lyrics

(Here we go again, we bring before...oh hello? Is this on?)

(You know zero is a wonderful thing, in fact zero is my hero. Well, there are all kinds of heroes. A man can get to be a hero by a famous battle they fought, like, like...like, ah, Joshua and the battle of Jericho, you know (I almost forgot who he was)...or by studying very hard, or by becoming a weightless astronaut. But, church, you don't hear me. And then there're heroes of other sorts like the heroes we know from watching sports, ESPN. By a hero doesn't have to be a grownup person you know. A hero can be a very big dog who comes to your rescue or a very little boy who's smart enough to know what to do. Amen? Amen, church...but let me tell you about my favourite hero.)

My hero, Zero, you're such a funny little hero,
But 'til you came along we counted on our fingers and toes,
Now you're here to stay, and nobody really knows how wonderful you are,
But you can never reach a star without you, Zero,
My hero, how wonderful you are,
How wonderful you are.

(You place a zero after one and you got yourself a ten)
See how important that is? (When you run out of little digits, you can start out over again)
See how convenient that is? (hallelujah)

That's why with only ten digits, including zero, you can count as high as you could ever go,
Forever, towards infinity - no one ever gets there, but you can try.

We're ten billion zeroes, from the cavemen to the heroes who invented you,
They counted on their fingers and toes, (or maybe some sticks and stones, rocks and bones, maybe tools)
And nobody really knows how wonderful you are,
But you can never reach a star without you, Zero,
My hero, how wonderful you are,
How wonderful you are.

(You place a zero after any number and you multiply that number by ten)
See how easy that is?
(You place two zeroes after any number, and that number goes by a hundred)
See how simple that is?
(But, church, if you take six zeroes after any number, well, I guess you're going platinum - glory)
Et cetera, et cetera,
Ad infinitum, ad astra,
Forever and ever with Zero, my hero,
How wonderful you are.

(Ah, yes, how wonderful you are)
