Lyrics Superhero - Jared Benjamin

I remember days when I can barely sleep
I'd stay up late and try and mastermind a dream
I'd be sitting there in the dark, not scared
Wondering what it feels like to be superman but

It's hard to believe that my wings would unfurl
Fly, shoot lasers and save a pretty girl
Before she falls from the top of a building to hit the floor
This is while I'm wide-eyed laying in my bedroom bored

I could save my Mary Jane or find my Lois Lane
But I'm still laying here waiting for my powers to appear
I could fly and catch a plane or fight bad guys with Bruce Wayne
Call Avengers and the League
The world is getting ready for me

You see, I wasn't really into comics 'til I was older
But, imagination is timeless and I feel bolder
When I dream about climbing up walls and falling
Just to feel the power of letting go
Without failing to accept that

An ending is forever
That I can't get up and find my ever after
'Cause time is ever turning, and I am forever learning
Then by rights I should be able to discover what I'm after

I could save my Mary Jane or find my Lois Lane
But I'm still laying here waiting for my powers to appear
I could fly and catch a plane or fight bad guys with Bruce Wayne
Call Avengers and the League
The world is getting ready for me

If Spider-Man has taught me something
It's that getting up is more than just standing up for nothing
It's being able to back what you believe
Without waiting for others to agree with what you know to be right
So you know I've got to plead

If a little kid could dream of flying
Then maybe we can all relax, take a breath
And stop fighting
Start striding towards a better tomorrow
Where all we need is to believe that

I could save my Mary Jane or find my Lois Lane
But I'm still laying here waiting for my powers to appear
I could fly and catch a plane or fight bad guys with Bruce Wayne
Call Avengers and the League
The world is getting ready for me

Me, me, me
Me, me, me
Me, me, me
I could save my- (me, me, me)
I could save my Mary

We are the superheroes of our own story
It's not for glory, we're just aiming to survive
Superheroes of our own comic
You don't have to like it
But you can't wait for others to decide

Superheroes of our own story
It's not for glory, we're just aiming to survive
Superheroes of our own comic
You don't have to like it
But you can't wait for others to decide

I could save my Mary Jane or find my Lois Lane
But I'm still laying here waiting for my powers to appear
I could fly and catch a plane or fight bad guys with Bruce Wayne
Call Avengers and the League
The world is getting ready for me
