Lyrics

SUPERHERO
copyright 2004 By Joan Martin

Mama, after all these years, I?ve finally figured out your secret
Mama, you don?t have to fear, I promise you I?ll always keep it
All of the clues have been right under my nose
It took a little while, but mama, now I know

You?re a superhero, and you?ve been one all my life
Though I?ve never seen your cape or superman tights
You?re a superhero, you?ve always known just what to do
Someday I want to be a superhero just like you

I know you?ve got x-ray vision, ?cause you can see clear into my heart
I know you?ve been on a mission, holding my world up when it?s falling apart
With inner strength of steel and the will to find a way
Always showing up just in time to save the day

You?re a superhero, and you?ve been one all my life
Though I?ve never seen your cape or superman tights
You?re a superhero, you?ve always known just what to do
Someday I want to be a superhero just like you

Mama, you gave me such a scare; they didn?t think you were gonna make it
Seeing you in intensive care, I didn?t think my heart could take it
Now you need to rest; I?ll take care of all your needs
You don?t have to worry, mama, you can count on me

I?ll be a superhero, and it?s gonna be all right
Though you?ll never see my cape or superman tights
?Cause you?re a superhero, and I know that you?ll pull through
?Til then I?m gonna be a superhero for you
It?s time for me to be a superhero just like you
