Key To The City

I'm proud of all I've done for my city
And it's my job to watch over it from above
I work every hour of every day so the people of Brooklyn sit pretty
So why am I a stranger in a town that I love?

See, no one knows the pressure on a supe hero
Unless they need assistance I never ever hear from anyone.

So sometimes.

I wanna hide in glasses and comfortable clothes
With a first and last name nobody knows
Then villains I see won't try to kill me everywhere I go.

I've been wearing this cape since I was thirteen
And doing every night things
Years and years of normal human things i've missed.

'Cause no one wants to get to know a superhero
All the friends I've made add up to only zero
I know how to save a life but I don't know how to live one.

I want to find a way for my life to begin
No key to the city will help me fit in
My great strength keeps me at arm's length from everyone I know.

I promised to save everybody and me
But what if it's me who needs to be freed?

Brooklyn is now so great
Please let me participate.

I want to find a new life and touchdown
And it's somewhere in this town.
