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
