Superhero by Kate Baldwin Lyrics
[Verse 1: Charlotte]
I wish that things were different
I wish your dad were here
I wish that you and I weren't falling from the sky
And living life in fear
But if I can't throw boulders
Or circle round the Earth
I can still hold onto you for all I'm worth
[Chorus]
If I can't be a superhero
I will still be strong
I'll try to make things better
I'll work to right what's wrong
So close the comic books my boy
But know these words to be true
If I can't be a superhero, I'll still fight for you
[Verse 2]
It's okay to say you're angry
It's okay to just be pissed
But there's hurt that we can't see
If you set the whole mess free
I swеar it won't be missed
'Cause you and I can do this
Wе can make it on our own
But I can't turn this thing around if I'm alone
[Chorus 2]
'Cause I can't be a superhero
I've no wings to soar
Or spin the planet back to
The way it was before
And we both know it's not enough
To just be brave and good
No, I can't be a superhero
But how I wish I could
[Bridge]
So Simon, please believe in superheros
And warriors whose powers astound
But son of mine, remember superheros
Can be folks who keep their feet on the ground
Who can't just vanquish villains with a dazzling laser ray
Who'll never know the joy it is to fly
Whose super human strength
Is just to face another day
In a world where people hurt
And fathers die
[Chorus 3]
If I could be a superhero
I'd bring him back for you
But this world is for mortals
It's lonely but it's true
But even so, I promise you
That someday we will be free
I know that I'm no superhero
[Outro]
But if you need a superhero
That's what I'll try to be
But you're the superhero
To me
To me
To me
I wish that things were different
I wish your dad were here
I wish that you and I weren't falling from the sky
And living life in fear
But if I can't throw boulders
Or circle round the Earth
I can still hold onto you for all I'm worth
[Chorus]
If I can't be a superhero
I will still be strong
I'll try to make things better
I'll work to right what's wrong
So close the comic books my boy
But know these words to be true
If I can't be a superhero, I'll still fight for you
[Verse 2]
It's okay to say you're angry
It's okay to just be pissed
But there's hurt that we can't see
If you set the whole mess free
I swеar it won't be missed
'Cause you and I can do this
Wе can make it on our own
But I can't turn this thing around if I'm alone
[Chorus 2]
'Cause I can't be a superhero
I've no wings to soar
Or spin the planet back to

And we both know it's not enough
