Everybody has a Superman


Everybody has a Superman
(Mine is Uncle Phillip)
Look up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane
There an S on his chest but Phillip is his name
Some would say he's handsome, other may say cute
Most would ask how could he get those muscles in that suit
It is then you have to understand what it all means
This is not the man you see on all those movie screens
Most didn't see him battle when good and evil would collide
And the fact is he wore most of his armor on the inside
He had a breastplate of righteousness, a sword and a shield
And when the enemy attacked, it's Gods word he would wield
He had chips in his armor, he took many hits to his pride
Though he was battling within, he might be smiling on the outside
He experienced all the tribulations that life hands us all
Often he lost battles, and often times he did fall
He too had disappointment, he too shed many tears
He too had grown weary from the fight through the years
But just like the movie hero, he too had a source of power
One he could depend on even in his darkest hour
He didn't keep it a secret though, he wanted everyone to know
This is the only real power, the only place to go
He would open up his Bible and show you word for word
“out in the wilderness” he'd say ”there a voice was heard”
I believe that was his command “prepare ye thy way”
So he took  The word and his shield and went out everyday
He was built like a tank, but that's not what made him strong
His strength came from bending knees and confessions of his wrong
Now that's the Superman that the whole world needs to see
I want to be like Uncle Phillip, he was Superman to me
