Superman Lyrics

He's trying to find a place to keep him warm

It's always harder in the rain

He finds an overhang he's seen before

For now a quiet place to stay

People stare at him as they go by

He wishes they could understand

Beneath the tattered clothes and tired eyes

There lies a very hopeful man

He's lost a friend he has to live with that

He's made mistakes he dreams he could take back

He said he thought he'd be Superman

Fly up higher than humans can

That he'd be a bird, be a plane

But he's stuck down here on the earth

He said he thought it'd be easier

He'd save the world from a meteor

But he hears the laughs and the whispers

And can't quite hide how it hurts

Because he thought he'd be Superman

He thought he'd be Superman

When he lays his head to rest at night

He flies the skies like Superman

But in the light he feels the Kryptonite

And he finds a careful place to land

He had a girl he had to let her go

He said he loves her still but she doesn't know

No no

He said he thought he'd be Superman

Fly up higher than humans can

That he'd be a bird, be a plane

But he's stuck down here on the earth

He said he thought it'd be easier

He'd save the world from a meteor

But he hears the laughs and the whispers

And can't quite hide how it hurts

Because he thought he'd be Superman

He thought he'd be Superman

He said he thought he'd be Superman

Fly up higher than humans can

That he'd be a bird, be a plane

But he's stuck down here on the earth

He said he thought it'd be easier

He'd save the world from a meteor

But he hears the laughs and the whispers

And can't quite hide how it hurts

Because he thought he'd be Superman
