There Are Times I Wish I Were Superman

There are times I wish I were Superman
To soar high in the sky
Going where I wished to go
Avoiding airports and saving time

There are times I wish I were Superman
To speed across the land
Seeing whatever I wished to see
Visiting new lands and places

There are times I wish I were Superman
Wearing a bright red cape, having the power to change
Repair buildings, or lives
Nothing but a little green rock could stop me

There are times I wish I were Superman
With the power comes a responsibility
To rescue the perishing,
Hearing Lois say, "The world does not need a Superman."

There are time I wish I were Superman
Then I think of how lonely it can be in the fortress of solitude
Not being able to share your life with others
Hiding behind a persona to hide my true self.

There are times I wish I were Superman
And I think, what fun it would be
No. Not fun, no fun indeed
What I really wish is to be Batman.
