Lyrics
All the life she has seen
All the meaner side of me
They took away the prophet’s dream
For a profit on the street
Now she’s stronger than you know
A heart of steel starts to grow
All his life he’s been told
He’ll be nothing when he’s old
All the kicks and all the blows
He won’t ever let it show’
Cause he’s stronger than you know
A heart of steel starts to grow
When you’ve been fighting for it all your life
You’ve been struggling to make things right
That’s how a superhero learns to fly
Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power
When you’ve fighting for it all your life
You’ve been working every day and night
That’s how a superhero learns to fly
Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power
Oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh
All the hurt, all the lies
All the tears that they cry
When the moment is just right
You see fire in their eyes
‘Cause he’s stronger than you know
A heart of steel starts to grow
When you’ve been fighting for it all your life
You’ve been struggling to make things right
That’s how a superhero learns to fly
Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power
When you’ve fighting for it all your life
You’ve been working every day and night
That’s how a superhero learns to fly
Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power
Every day, every hour turn the pain into power
Every day, every hour turn the pain into power
She’s got lions in her heart
A fire in her soul he’s a got a beast
In his belly that’s so hard to control
‘Cause they’ve taken too much hits, taking blow by blow
Now light a match, stand back, watch them explode
She’s got lions in her heart
A fire in her soul he’s a got a beast
In his belly that’s so hard to control
‘Cause they’ve taken too much hits, taking blow by blow
Now light a match, stand back, watch them explode
When you’ve been fighting for it all your life
You’ve been struggling to make things right
That’s a how a superhero learns to fly
Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power
When you’ve fighting for it all your life
You’ve been working every day and night
That’s a how a superhero learns to fly
Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power
You’ve been struggling to make things right
That’s how a superhero learns to fly
