[Intro]
Superhero
[Chorus]
I will be your superhero
But you must understand
If I'm to be your superhero
You must give me half a chance
(Listen to my band)
[Verse 1]
I am born unto poverty and fear
I am scorned yet I hold back my tears
There's so much I can and will and want to do
But I cannot until I get through to you
[Chorus]
I will be your superhero
(I will be your superhero)
But you must understand
(Must understand)
If I'm to be your superhero
You must give me half a chance
[Verse 2]
I am lucky if I learn to read and write
Where I live you must first learn to stand and fight
I'm the product of the system, I'm aware
What's my name?
(Don't matter)
Nobody cares
[Chorus]
I will be your superhero
(Be your superhero)
But you must understand
(But you must understand)
If I'm to be your superhero
You must give me half a chance
(Listen to my band)
[Bridge]
I understand you need me if you ever to war
But I don't understand if I buy the goods
Why I can't own the store
Don't tell me that I am not worthy
After 400 years overtime
[Verse 3]
If it's yours then why can't it be mine?
I am just as good as you or any kind
There's so much I can and will and want to do
But I cannot 'til I get through to you
[Chorus]
I will be your superhero
(I will be your superhero)
But you must understand
(Please understand)
If I'm to be your superhero
(Be a superhero)
You must give me half a chance
(Give me half a chance)
Listen to my band
[Verse 4]
Give us what you give your brothers
Then you'll understand
I won't be your superhero
'Til you give us all you can now
Now
[Chorus]
I will be your superhero
(I will be your superhero)
But you must understand
(But you must understand)
You must give me half a chance
I will be your superhero
(I will be your superhero)
But you must understand
(Please understand)
You must give me half a chance
Listen to my band
I will be your superhero
I will be your superhero
(I will be your superhero)
I will be your superhero
I will be your superhero
I will be your superhero
I will be your superhero
I will be your superhero
