Make my morning coffee, skip the early news,
Start the day looking for a way to lighten up the mood.
It's gonna take a miracle, a certain special breed,
A living breathing hero, someone we can believe,
And I need to believe

(chorus)
Where is Superman when we need him?
Where is the guy who will fight for truth and humanity?
I thought that he'd be here to lend a helping hand,
Damn tired of standing 'round and asking, "Where is Superman?"

Having superpowers isn't all that rare,
You don't have to leap tall buildings to show how much you care.
It's the little things that add up, make impossible come true,
If things are gonna get better, it's up to me and you,
Watcha gonna do?

(chorus)
Where is Superman when we need him?
Where is the guy who will fight for truth and humanity?
I thought that he'd be here to lend a helping hand,
Damn tired of standing 'round and asking, "Where is Superman?"

(bridge)
Can't be on Krypton, could be Paree or Rome,
Don't he realize we need him here at home?

(chorus)
Where is Superman when we need him?
Where is the guy who will fight for truth and humanity?
I thought that he'd be here to lend a helping hand,
Damn tired of standing 'round and asking,
Where is Superman when we need him?
Where is the guy who will fight for truth and humanity?
I guess it's up to us to lend a helping hand,
I'm done standing 'round and asking, "Where is Superman?"
Where is Superman?
That man of steel--oh is he real?

Great tune. Really enjoyed that in a big way. Excellent vocals with great tone, modulation, phrasing and attitude. Example: Especially liked that ascending section at 0:48. Great lyrics and theme; very clever. Also liked the intro which had some slightly vocal sounding instrumental sounds - nice set-up.
