Super Hero Songtext
von Earth, Wind & Fire

Here we go

I will be your Super Hero
But you must understand
If I′m to be your Super Hero
You must give me half a chance

I am born unto poverty and fear
I am scorned yet I hold back my tears
There's so much I can and will and want to do
But I cannot until I get through to you

I will be your Super Hero
But you must understand
If I′m to be your Super Hero
You must give me half a chance

I am lucky if I learn to read and write
Where I live you must first learn to stand and fight
I'm the product of the system, I'm aware
What′s my name, don′t matter, nobody cares


I will be your Super Hero
But you must understand
If I'm to be your Super Hero
You must give me half a chance
Listen to my band

I understand you need me
If you ever go to war
But I don′t understand if I buy the goods
Why I can't own the store
Don′t tell me that I am not worthy
After 400 years overtime

If it's yours then why can′t it be mine
I am just as good as you or any kind
And there's so much I can and will and want to do
But I cannot until I get through to you

I will be your Super Hero
But you must understand
If I'm to be your Super Hero
You must give me half a chance
Listen to my band

Give us what you give your brothers
Then you′ll understand
That I won′t be your Super Hero
Until you give us all you can now, now


I will be your Super Hero
But you must understand
If I'm to be your Super Hero
You must give me half a chance

I will be your Super Hero
But you must understand
If I′m to be your Super Hero
You must give me half a chance
