Superman
By Joe Hysell

I’m standing in the kitchen one early Sunday morn
In the other room I can hear my little baby boy
He thinks he’s a Lion protectin’ his pride land
There ain’t nothing quite like being a little boy

Now when he grows up he wants to be like Superman
With the speed and the strength
The power in his hands
Now if Superman is who my boy he wants to be
I’ll teach him to fly he can be anything

Oh my little Superboy
I really want to see you become Superman
Oh my oh my oh my little Superboy
He said “ Daddy, TRY to catch me if you can!!”

He asked his mama, where do Lions go when they die
And before she could say a word a tear fell from her eye
Oh my dear mama please don’t be so sad
Don’t ya worry my son, you just remind me of yer granddad.

She said…
Now when a Lion dies this is where he goes
Straight up to the sun
Where it’s never ever cold
With a heart full of love
On the wind he will soar
When the rain falls down
You can hear the Lion roar

Oh my little Superboy
I really want to see you become Superman
Oh my oh my oh my little Superboy
He said “ Mama, won’t you please hold my hand?”

She said…
I promise you son
I’ll never let go
never leave you in this cruel world alone
I’ll do all that I can to lift you up
Make sure that you understand
That yer a Superman


So now it’s Sunday evening
I can hear the news on the radio
And I ain’t never heard nothing quite like this before
They say there’s a dinosaur tearing up this great land
who’s gonna save us now?
I think I now who can…

Oh my lil Superboy
Now’s the time for you to become Superman
Oh my oh my oh my little Superboy
He said “Daddy, what do I do if I can’t?”

I promise you son
it’s okay to let go
there’s nothing to fear in this cruel world at all
now do all that you can then you’ll rise up
you take a stand man when things they get tough
cause I promised you son
I’d never let go
Never leave you in this cruel world alone
I’d do all that I can to lift you up
Make sure that you understand… that you’re a Superman

Oh my little Superboy
I really want to see you become Superman
Oh my oh my oh my little Superboy
He said “ Daddy, TRY to catch me if you can!!”
