Story Behind The Song

This song was written for Jake who is battling with cerebral palsy - and winning. As Jake told us, the kids at school would poke fun at him for being slower than the others - we thought he should have a way to get back at them. Hence Superhero was born.

VERSE 1
You think I?, too slow for ya
But I? never out of time
You think I?m too much for ya
As if it was a crime

VERSE 2
Too different - Odd one out
Eccentric - ain?t no doubt
That?s a compliment coming from a zero
Cos next to you I?m a superhero

CHORUS
Be my inspiration
Be a friend of mine
You can be a hero
But you gotta find a way to shine

VERSE 3
I?m turbocharged
I?m the main man
I?m larger than life
Nobody knows who I really am

VERSE 4
You can count on me - The best of me
You can check me out - But I?m not what I appear to be
I?m right out there - And it?s not just for show
I?m giving it all - Like a superhero

CHORUS
Be my inspiration?

MIDDLE-8
I have found a way to log into my energy
And I can demonstrate it - show you what I mean
Let me do my thing and be exactly what I wanna be
I?ll get you to imagine me the way a hero ought to be

VERSE 5
You know I?m the one
Time that you believed
The superhero strength
And the power I received

VERSE 6
It?s not a mere illusion
It?s not a make-believe
Time you understood
The superhjero thing in me

CHORUS
Be my inspiration?
