If she had superpowers,
New York would be a safer city.
If I Could Be a Super Hero
I don’t think I could be Iron Man
I’m sort of scared of heights
I’d sort of like to be Spider-Man
But I’m afraid of spider bites
I suppose I could be Wolverine
But I’m afraid people would stare
I’d consider being the Incredible Hulk
But radiation’s bad for your hair (...)
Captain America, him perhaps
I love his mighty shield
But I fear I’m not brave enough
When things get rough, I yield
If I could be a superhero
I wonder which I’d be
Or maybe it’s time I tried to find
The hero inside of me.
