Superhero Lyrics - Survival Story - 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 

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 

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 

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 

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
