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 am born unto pverty 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
Listen to my band
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 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 tell me
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
Listen to my band
