There was a time where no one got hurt Pretty smiles and lovely faces And heroes wore a cape Then came a time of mass abuses From the physical to verbal Hearing things without a face Well it will be too late if we wait Looking for reasons or who to blame It will be too late if we do nothing at all It will be too late if we wait Hoping all the hate would just dissipate It will be too late if we do nothing at all I can fetch all your tears I will mend your sorrows Be the hero to hold on To shield you from the stones Some people dissin' laughin' But there are children hurting crying So I'll be the hero To love em' to save em' A real-world superman While we are searching for a meaning The pain has got no reason It's time to turn the page Well it will be too late if we wait Looking for reasons or who to blame It will be too late if we do nothing at all It will be too late if we wait There really are lives we can save It will be too late if we do nothing at all Reprise Where is the love that we all feel should be around? Could it just be forgotten and buried deep down? Do we have time to make a change? Ref, please tell! Cos' we just need to bring him out oh It will be too late if we wait It will be too late Father Father Father Please give me the power To be the hero to hold on To shield them from the stones Some people dissin' laughin' But there are children hurting crying So let's be the hero To love em' to save em' And I can fetch all your tears I will mend your sorrows Be the hero to hold on To shield you from the stones Some people dissin' laughin' But there are children hurting crying So I'll be the hero To love em' to save em' to fix em' Do all that I can To lift em' and to give em' A real-world superman A real-world superman
