Superheroes are Hard to Find

Out in the Darkness far above the street lights

we are the shadows, moving like ghosts into the night
we all want some measure of justice that we define
when life and death are at stake, when we cross the line
between good and evil to find the moment of truth
like when boys leave behind their ideals from their youth
like when we stop to gaze upon all we have done
down onto the actions that matter, those that we shun.

Choices are to be had, decisions that have already been made
do you stand out in the strength of your convictions
do you question the laws that everyone says must be obeyed/
Are you the hero of the moment, a matter for depiction
or are you something more than this our present fiction?

Run in the Shadows or Run in the light
this is our struggle, this should be our fight
Will you right the wrongs to be found
or will you wait until there is no more bravery
or even the freedom to say I can stand my ground

Take up your cause and wave it like a war flag
for it is the glorious combat that make what you
carry more than just a honor, more than just a rag
Stand up and be counted one of the brave and the few
against the world's expectations, be something original
be something new

Because if you don't, if you get left behind
you will become just another wannabe hero
that lacks any metal, or steel or even a mind
It is true when they all stand together and tell you
that Superheroes are hard to find!
