Waiting For Superman

Waiting For Superman

Verse 1 

There will be no sunshine

No warm ways to glisten on the skin

No blending of colours to see

No hand up in the air to partially conceal the view

Erosion of days and prolonged nights

Settle within this time and place

A mood of what occurred and what will soon be

Pushed forward while being pulled backwards

Today will become yesterday

Verse 2

Discussions of destiny and luck

What's meant to be and possibilities

Another method of passing the buck

Our very own way of normality

Rising tensions will not subside

When the causes are stored in skulls and lungs

If they spill out of ourselves

Open wounds will be the visible manifestation

Of injuries which could no longer be pacified

Pushed forward while being pulled backwards

Tomorrow is today

Verse 3

With the knowledge of a finish point

We can't cease to worry about what remains

It's attached to every achievement and mistake

Like spots on a leopard, it's impossible to shake

Not all broken things can be fixed

Some missing parts will always be hidden

We're not always capable of preserving what's left

A greater force must take over for us

It could be today or tomorrow

So we'll wait until that day arrives

Bridge

But if there was, someone who could change this for the better

To put an end to this endless transformation

To capture precious moments lost through the passage of time

To save us from what is known

From what is predicted to be

Then a grand welcoming will certainly be greeted upon him

Chorus

There's no where else to go

No running, no hiding

Wanting a space for yourself

Where nothing is dismantled and rearranged

He's the only one standing between the life we've dreamed of living

Superman is who we've been waiting for

Waiting for Superman

For us to be saved
