Superheroes

Just a small town boy who is sick and tired of being lonely
Well the load got too heavy you wanted to break away
You got no friends too rely on
School was bad enough so you didn't bother going today

Can you hear him
Oh can you hear him
The songs he's gonna play

Daddy's found the bottom of the bottle
Mama's all lit up she won't be home for days

Can you feel it
Oh can you hear it
The songs they are gonna play

You will rise up like the Phoenix
Bang a million drums
Play your guitar like the thunder
And show 'em how it's done
Make them all regret that they treated you so wrong
Almost all the superheroes
Come from broken homes

You got stars in your eyes and dreams on the walls
You gotta get out
But your little brother's tired and he wants to go to bed
So tell him a bedtime story about the kid who had to play
Everybody loved him
The boy that got away

Can you hear him
Oh can you hear him
The kid who had to play

You will rise up like the Phoenix
Bang a million drums
Play your guitar like the thunder
And show 'em how it's done
Make them realise
That they're singing to your songs
Almost all the superheroes
Come from broken homes
Almost all the superheroes
Come from broken homes

The touch you hold you
And cry to your songs
This superhero's battle has been won

Can you hear him
Oh can you hear him
Oh The boy that got away

Rise up like the Phoenix
Bang a million drums
Play your guitar like the thunder
And show 'em how it's done
Every word of every song
This boy has come undone
Almost all the superheroes
Come from broken homes
All the superheroes
Come from broken homes

Superheroes come from broken homes
Calling all the superheroes all alone
