If I Was A Superhero
If I Was A Superhero
There goes Spiderman, climbing up the wall
Flying to the rescue, Superman answers a call
The Hulk is on a rampage, and it's quite a sight
Up there in the sky, we see Green Lantern's light
Swinging around the corner, is Daredevil, the man without fear
The Flash is so fast, can't even tell if he is near
The X-Men are on the scene, with Professor Xavier in his chair
The caped crusaders Batman and Robin, sure do make quite a pair
Wonder Woman arrives, who could ask for more
And holding his hammer, is the Thunder God Thor
Look closely at the trees, and you'll see The Swamp Thing
Captain America is so amazing, with his boots that have a wing
Aquaman is chatting, with the dolphins and the whale
The Sub-Mariner watches, to the astonishing tale
The Justice League Of America, makes sure that all is fine
The Fantastic Four make an appearance, so no one is out of line
Up up it goes, shooting fast, it's the Green Arrow
The Silver Surfer glides in, on a board that is kind of narrow
The elements gone wild, we see the Metal Men
The Avengers appear, and then we count to ten
In a puff of smoke, Dr.Strange appears
A party for Superheroes, calming all our fears
So many of their adventures, through the years I've read
Taking me to places I've enjoyed, I'd say 'Nuff Said'
With the powers of the universe at my hands,
And I knew how to use them
To satisfy my heart's demands,
Surely the world would change;
Would it be for better or for worse
If I took all the sadness away,
Lifted the depression curse?
If I were a superhero,
And upon flying around the world I should see
You huddled against the curb of a sidewalk,
Lonely, grimy, and bawling against the street,
I would swoop down and take your hand in mine,
And wipe away the tears;
And I would take away the pain and ache
From all your many years.
Never again would you resist a smile,
Never again would your head hang low;
The entire world would never know sadness,
If only, if only I were a superhero.
