I Am Superman


You can try to hurt, me say your harsh words.
Throw at me all your verbal sticks and stones.
Some of the worst names, that I have ever heard.
You could have just gone ahead and left me alone.
But, you decide to mock, cause you don't understand.
You can try hard to break me, I am Superman.

You can see I'm different, see that I'm strange.
An distant alien to your world, to your home.
Your words try to effect me, but, I'm out of range.
You could have just gone ahead left me alone.
But, you decided to stay and try to break my will.
You can't beat me, I tell you, I'm the man of steel.

Why is it, can't you see, I'm here to save you.
I'm trying protect you, keep you safe, show love.
Please I ask, don't be scared of the things I do.
Try to feel safe when you see me flying above.
I tell you I'm here to try take away all your sorrow.
You can't hurt me, I'm invincible, the Man of Tomorrow.

I know to you I'm abnormal, but, know I'm not lost.
Don't mistake compassion, for weakness, I'm not weak.
I always knew that my discovery came with a cost.
But, I no longer could sit in silence;  I had to speak.
Listen here, I will tell you what I am really all about.
I tell now you I'm just your Red and Blue Boy Scout.

So scream your words, try hard to bring my down.
Try to make me give in, try your hardest to break me.
Go ahead Laugh at me, at what you think I am now.
One day I will make you open your eyes and see.
I know myself, I am by no way in my eyes a zero.
You can't hurt me; you try, I'm the Metropolis Hero.

I'm the Metropolis Marvel, I'm the Man in Blue.
Here to protect, I'm here keep your way of life.
Being Superman, I am here trying to save you.
Being the Man of Steel, I'm trying set things right.
Being the Man of Tomorrow, the Man Who Can.
You can't defeat me, I tell you I am Superman.
