Superman

Superman 2

 

      Denise has always had a poets way with words, a painters sense of imagery, and a photographers knack for capturing the power and pathos of a moment. She sees with a clarity that is unflinchingly honest and real, and she feels with a heart that is as open and loving as a Caribbean doorway. I know this song  stirred inside of her for a long time; I know it was not easy for her to write, but one day she just sat down at the kitchen table and wrote this absolutely stunning song and asked if I could set it to music. 

        I’ve been playing it for the last several years around campfires, in pubs, at concerts, and in classrooms. Every time I play this song, I see the powerful affect it has on people. It is a song about the power of love--pure and unfiltered love. 

       I  hope it works for you as well.  If it does, please share this song  with anybody you think might like this song, or anybody you might know who could get this on the airwaves.

      You can download this song for 99 cents. Just check out the link on my sidebar.

      Thanks for listening, and thanks for sharing.

There’s a little blonde boy in a superman cape
Racing around the back yard
Sayin’ “Daddy don’t you know I can fly to the moon”
“I’m gonna bring you back some stars.
And after that I’m gonna save the world”
Cause I’m superman today.”
Well I scoop that boy right into my arms
And this is what I say…
 
You don’t need a cape to be a hero
You’ve got all the special powers that you need
Your smile’s enough to save the world from evil
And you’ll always be superman to me
 
That little blonde boy in the cape again
Says he’s gonna jump off the deck.
I say: “Little man can’t you slow on down?
One day you’re going to break your neck”
He says, “Don’t you know that I can’t get hurt
Because I’m superman today”
Well I scoop that boy right into my arms 
And this is what I say…
 
You don’t need a cape to be a hero
You’ve got all the special powers that you need
Your smile’s enough to save the world from evil
And you’ll always be superman to me
 
One day he woke up and didn’t want his cape
And we knew that something wasn’t right
The doctor’s said, “We just don’t know.
We better keep him here for the night.”
So, I held his hand and stroked his hair
Until somehow he fell off to sleep,
I knelt at the window 
and prayed to the stars:
God, help me own leap:
 
I’ve never been much of a prayin’ man:
I’ve never had a faith very clear,
But give me a sign and I’ll step into line;
Just get my boy out of here—
I’ll give you everything any man’s ever got:
I’ll give you every bit of my love—
And a prayer came back to me
In a whisper from above…saying:
 
You don’t need a cape to be his hero
You’ve got all the special powers that you need
Your smile’s enough to save the world from evil
And you’ll always be superman to me
 
That little boy woke up in a hospital room
Looking so quiet and sad.
I bring him in his cape and I say “Big boy,
“How about a smile for Dad?”
And those wide blue eyes fill up with tears
“I’m not superman today”
Well, I scooped that boy right into my arms 
And this is what I said…
 
You don’t need a cape to be my hero;
You’ve got all the special powers that you need.
Your smile’s enough to save the world from evil,
And you’ll always be superman to me;
Yeah, you’ll always be superman to me
