I think about the days 
When we were young and carefree
We never even bothered to ask
Who are we or who we should be
We just existed with no resistance
We were superheroes then
But times have changed
And wars are raging
Underneath our skin

We're dodging bullets and holding ground
Pushing, pulling and weighing down
What happened to that cape I used to wear?
Is it out there? Is it out there?
And if you find it somewhere inside me
Help me see it because I should be flying
I wanna be a superhero again
And finish this war under my skin.

Oh but history has shown us
That when times are gettin' hard
It's time for us to grow and see exactly who we are
The morning after the storm 
Is always brighter than the rest
Right?
Especially when you know you passed your test
But the tests are only standerized
In little public schools
Where they've given you all the answers
And prepared you with [bad word] 
I don't think life on earth is set up quite the same, no
It's every man out for himself
Until we make things change
Can we make things change?

So give me one thing
Something please
Just a glimmer of hope
I'm on my knees
I need to know that I'm not
That I'm not crazy
And if I am
Then tell me now so I can
Tie my cape to my straight jacket
And bow out
'Cause I am not about to go down this way
No not the superhero
Today
I guess I'm not the superhero
Today
