[Skit: Crowd Conversation] Look, up in the sky! Is it a bird? It's a plane, No, it's - [Verse 1] I feel like I live in a world made of cardboard, Always taking constant care not to break something, to break someone. Never allowing myself to lose control, even for a moment or someone could die. Each step I take feels like pushing on a springboard, I try to shield them all, yet I can trust none. If I falter, even once, the cost would be too high. [chorus] I'm up, up, up, and away, (up, up, up, and away) In my fortress of solitude I stay. Have you met reporter Lois Lane? What a beauty, she's the only one on my brain. (the only one on my brain) In fall, winter, summer, or in spring, (fall winter summer, or in spring) If you're in trouble, just call out to my name (just call out to my name) [skit: boy] Help me superman! [Verse 2] They call me the god among men, but I feel the strain, I carry the weight of the world on a chain, Every cry for help pulls me away, From the simple life I yearn for every day. I can hear all of your hopes, your prayers, your fears, I can hear your silent whispers in my ears, Even gods have their limits, no matter how strong, And on the inside I've been human all along. [Chorus] I’m up, up, up, and away, (up, up, up, and away) In my fortress of solitude I stay. Have you met reporter Lois Lane? What a beauty, she’s the only one on my brain. (the only one on my brain) In fall, winter, summer, or in spring, (fall, winter, summer, or in spring) If you’re in trouble, just call out to my name. (just call out to my name) [skit: boy] Help me superman! [Verse 3] It's hard to be nice when the world can be so unkind, This game of whack-a-mole is like I'm losing my mind, I try to protect them all, but they don't understand, That even with this power, I'm still only one Superman. And while the Luthors of the world will try and drag me down, I'll never stop flying my cape across this town, Because the lesson I have for humans is the one they taught me first, Even if you're an outsider, love will quench your spiritual thirst. [Chorus] I’m up, up, up, and away, (up, up, up, and away) In my fortress of solitude I stay. Have you met reporter Lois Lane? What a beauty, she’s the only one on my brain. (the only one on my brain) In fall, winter, summer, or in spring, (fall, winter, summer, or in spring) If you’re in trouble, just call out to my name. (just call out to my name) [skit: boy] Help me superman! [Outro]
