[Verse 1]
You have understood the riddles of the ages
Yes, and you have understood the universal night
You have placed your footprints on the everlastin' sands of time
Yeah, so tell me why, why can't you understand
There ain't no such thing, no such thing as a Superman?
[Verse 2]
You was on the Nile
You went to see great Egypt fall, it fell right down to the ground
And you was out there on the corner
When bein' cool went blind
You alone understand
That if we're gonna win, we've got to get together
Stay together, be together, stick together
So tell me why, why can't you understand
There ain't no such thing, no such thing as a Superman?
There ain't no such thing as a Superman
[Verse 3]
We're alone
Consider that I see after all, it seems you get is pain
It seems to me you have found the courage
That others could not find
You alone have the wisdom
To take this world and make it what it need to be
Want to be, will be some day, you'll see
The day, the day you understand
There ain't no thing, ain't no such thing as a Superman
There ain't no such thing as a Superman
[Verse 4]
No, there ain't, there ain't
Oh, there ain't no, ain't no such thing
No, there ain't no, it ain't no such thing
Ain't no such thing
Oh, there ain't no thing, ain't no such thing
No, no
