Michael Sembello Superman song lyrics

As you stand at the edge of existence

and the world has forgotten your name

After life after life you remember

the secret

He's as fast as a speeding bullet

Change the water into wine

And the last time he came

They cursed his name

With a kryptonite cross

they cut him down

Superman

Are we ever going to see you again

If we do will you teach us how to fly above the sky?

Some say at the end of the tunnel

There's a light that will show us the way

It's a light that belongs to the people of every nation, color or creed

I can't speak for all of the sinners

I don't know any saints I could ask

It's been 2000 years since we've seen you

We need you

Please come back

Superman

Are we ever going to see you again

If we do will you teach us how to fly above the sky?

All of the pain in your life

How can we ever repay?

And the answer, you said

is in the life that you led, Superman

Superman

Are we ever going to see you again

If we do will you teach us how to fly above the sky?
