Superman

Dear mister superman I just want to thank you For telling me I'm beautiful Even with my knees bruised With tears in my eyes You wiped them away Superman, like in the movies, You absolutely saved my day Dear mister superman With your hands behind your back Are you holding flowers there Is that a surprise? Are the cars with the pretty lights Here for the fair Dear mister superman Why are your eyes so red Have the bad guys won yet? Are you hurt? I'm sorry I'm always asking Stupid questions I just want to learn from all your lessons Dear mister How could you run away Me and my brother miss our games Take me with you Superman, please All we ever wanted was to be free Dear stranger I caught your scent On the bus this evening It felt like our summers spent Running outside Drinking freshly made lemonade The bad guys got me too today My knucks are bruised And my eyes are red Stranger, we used to be friends Dear Dad It's finally clear I wanted you But you never wanted to be here I made my wishes And crossed all my fingers and toes I threw away all the memories Attached to ribbons and bows I forgot that you're in the distance Because, you know, Superman isn't Superman Unless he's flying alone.
