You have understood

The riddles of the ages

Yes and you have understood

The universal nine

You have placed your footprints on

The everlasting sands of time

Yes so tell me why

Can't you understand that there ain't no such thing as a superman?

There ain't no such thing as a superman

You was on the Nile

You went to see great Egypt fall

It fell down to the ground

Yes, and you was out there on the corner

When being cool went blind

Oh, you alone understand that if we gonna win

We've got to get together, stay together, be together, stick together

So tell me why, can't you understand

That there ain't no such thing as a superman

There ain't no such thing as a superman

You alone consider mercy after it seems like all you get is pain

It seem to me that you have found the courage that others could not find

You alone have the wisdom to take this world and make it what it need to be, want to be, will be, someday you'll see

The day, the day you understand

That there ain't no such thing as a superman

There ain't no such thing as a superman
