Superhero - Flobots

We believed in love when love wasn’t an option

She wanted to give birth, I wanted adoption

After days and days of conversation

We decided to go with fertilization

Then came baby showers and Lamaze classes

2 a.m. phone calls, 1 minute contractions

But then they whisked me away like Brigadoon

No domestic partners in the delivery room

But if I was a superhero, I would break free

Wouldn’t need anyone to come and save me

And you couldn’t make me feel like I’m crazy

I would see my baby, I would see my baby

And if I was a superhero, I would break free

And I wouldn’t be imprisoned wherever you take me

I would change everyone that’s trying to change me

I would see my baby, I would see my baby

Life in an occupied land is hard, we pushed harder

Soon to be a mom, him to be a father

Boys with guns at the checkpoint in Rafah

Wouldn’t let me pass when I said I need a doctor

I don’t know the source of the passport errors

Or how four hours produced a miscarriage

But when it comes to populations to disparage

Gaza’s on the list, right below gay marriage

But if I was a superhero, I would break free

Wouldn’t need anyone to come and save me

And you couldn’t make me feel like I’m crazy

I would see my baby, I would see my baby

There’s something on my heart

There’s someone on my mind

I never would have thought

That I could be so angry

But please give me the patience

Please give me the patience

There’s something on my heart

There’s someone on my mind

I never would have thought

That I could be so angry

But please give me the patience

Please give me the patience

But if I was a superhero, I would break free

Wouldn’t need anyone to come and save me

And you couldn’t make me feel like I’m crazy

I would see my baby, I would see my baby

And if I was a superhero, I would break free

And I wouldn’t be imprisoned wherever you take me

I would change everyone who’s trying to change me

I would see my baby, I would see my baby

Yeah, if I was a superhero, I would break free

And I wouldn’t be imprisoned wherever you take me

I would change everyone who’s trying to change me

I would see my baby, I would see my baby
