I was born in the middle of the night
When I went and did the wrong thing right
Stood and watched like a spider on the wall
Doing nothing made my whole world fall

While you're sleeping in the comfort of your bed
I'll be swinging through the city's hot breath
Like I'm running on an endless track

Power coursing through the river of my veins
That moment on I knew that nothing was the same

How do you find the time to save the world and still have time to love?
Sometimes the only thing to do is laugh
That's why I always make a joke beneath the mask

I've seen friends come and go
I've seen more than you know
This is what I've been handed
and I've been trying to find strength
inner peace, never forget the words
with great power comes responsibility
I was born, I was born
I was born, I am a...

Web Slinger, Hope Bringer
I'm known by many names
And that's okay, this weight, this gift
(Oh oh)
And that's okay, this weight, this gift
I will take
