Don't you know?
I was born with super powers.
I can see
A world you'll never know
If you could only hear
The things I hear, but you
Take for granted
Not having to know
Why you are so different
So alone...

Don't you know?
I am gifted, I am brilliant.
Can't you see?
I am crippled, I am weak
If you could only tell
What's happening, but my
Secret identity
Could not be more
Complete...

I was born to save the world,
I know it's true, for if I don't
Then what am I good for?
I am so blessed, so cursed,
What more can I be asked to be?
I was born to save the world,
But who will save me?

Don't you know?
I'm half in another world.
Can't they see?
I have the curse of which men dream
If you could only know,
Who I am, but my
Silence can only
Protect me.

I was born to save the world,
I know it's true, for if I don't
Then what am I good for?
I am so blessed, so cursed
What more can I be asked to be?
I was born to save the world,
But who will save me?

I stand on concrete
Arms outspread
To take within the tears of heav'n
And sigh at thunder
As I wonder
Where my dreams have taken me,
Poet, Dreamer
Hero
Freak
Monster that no one can see
I scream out
"What is wrong with me?
Who can save me,
Will they please?"
But silence is all that will speak
And so my secrets I must keep
Until the day I understand
What power is building in my hands...

Don't you know?
I was born to save the wold,
Can't you see?
I am blessed and cursed and broken.
What more can be asked of me?
We're already going down the drain
Or perhaps I'm just insane
But if I fail
And can not change
All that's been weighing on my brain
Then who will help me try again?
I ask and wait for a reply
That can not seem to come,
Am I
Doomed to fight this out alone?
Why?

I was born to save the world,
But will someone please save me?
