Lyrics

At school, I guess I'm kinda lame
Good at math and bad at gym
Picked last for every single game
Just never fitting in
What's worse is how they always stare
Awaiting my mistake
I take a breath and say a prayer
Knowing what's at stake
Too awkward to make friends
Stuck a year behind the trends
Waiting for another day to end...
But at night I dream of flying
Way up, soaring high
Leave the world behind for just a moment
Reach up and touch the sky
Be a superhero!
Win the fight, and save the day
Be a superhero!
When there's a problem, find a way
I'd be respected and assured
With my identity obscured
I'd be a superhero...
This new me would be different
He'd be confident and cool
He'd have charm, and be ambitious
Even socialize at school!
He'd step in to fight the bullies
And clean up every mess
Always help the poor and needy
Wearing lycra? Sure, I guess
Get a cat down from a tree
Save the world, guaranteed!
Maybe that's who I'm supposed to be
Cos at night I dream of flying
Way up, soaring high
Leave the world behind for just a moment
Reach up and touch the sky
Be a superhero!
Win the fight, and save the day
Be a superhero!
When there's a problem, find a way
I'll be respected and assured
The stupid loser kid obscured
When I'm a superhero...
But would I have the guts to do what's right?
To stand up to the villains?
To fight the good fight?
Maybe a hero isn't something I can be
And maybe all I'm saying is "I wish I wasn't me..."
If I were a superhero,
that life would never last
Sure, I'd be a superhero
But I'd still be an outcast
Cos the life I crave won't ever be
A life that quite comes naturally
How could I even try to save the day?
Why would they choose me to save the day?
I've just never been that strong
What am I doing wrong?
Maybe trying to become a superhero
Is not the way to help them understand
It's okay to spend my nights with dreams of flying
But in the morning find a safe place to land
I'll never be a superhero, but maybe that's okay
Cos even as myself, I can try to win the day
I'll find a way to change my luck
Being uncool does not mean stuck
But I'm no superhero
I'll never be a superhero
But I don't have to be a superhero
To fly
To fly
To fly!
