Everything I Ever Wanted

Song Description

The need for adventure, mystery, challenges, love and purpose were driving forces in childhood. Back then they looked a little different - firemen and super heros for danger and adventure, the safety of home and family was synonymous with love, and mystery and awe were everywhere. The same things drive the singer as an adult, but are found close to home: the challenges and mysteries of raising children, the adventure and purpose of setting a good example and the the love of wife and family.

Lyrics

I wanted to be like Superman
Saving the planet & those in need.
I wanted his cape & all of his powers
To win the day at super speed.

I dreamed of adventure & glory
Battling fires & fighting crime.
I'd run with the bulls, meet a beautiful stranger
I was there, in my dreams all the time.

Everything I ever wanted since I was a kid
Is waitin' right under my nose
I didn't need to struggle so hard
Everything I ever wanted is in my own backyard.

I wanted the power to fight injustice
And the wisdom to know right from wrong.
I wanted to dig real deep for the treasure.
But I found I had'em in me all along.

I don't need no super powers
To offer a helping hand
Or plant a few seeds in my backyard
Watch'em flower, let'em spread
Let'em spread.

I find my adventure & glory
When I give 100%
And baby, you're my beautiful stranger,
Miss Lois Lane,
I'm your Mr. Clark Kent.
