Hero

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?
