Grounded Hero

You used to soar above the skyline cape dancing in the breeze A hero in his prime with hearts to appease Time's a thief that robs the strong now you're grounded here But every time you smile you erase my deepest fear You may not fly like you used to but your spirit's bright Through the twilight of your years you still light up my nights Your laughter lingers in the air a song I can't forget Even without your cape you're the hero I've met My Superman you're still my hero through every rise and fall Though your powers may have faded your love conquers all No longer wearing that cape yet you still touch the sky In my eyes my Superman you'll forever fly We've got tales of epic battles victories and scars A constellation of memories like our private stars Though your hands may tremble your heart beats fierce and true You're my living legend and I'm forever proud of you You may not leap tall buildings but your heart still breaks the chains Echoes of your laughter your legacy remains Your courage shines through the years a light that never fades Even without your cape you're the hero I've met My Superman you're still my hero through every rise and fall Though your powers may have faded your love conquers all No longer wearing that cape yet you still touch the sky In my eyes my Superman you'll forever fly Years have made us wiser the journey's bittersweet With your gentle wisdom my own heart finds its beat We dance beneath the starlight to songs of yesterday My Superman your love's my guiding way My Superman you're still my hero through every rise and fall Though your powers may have faded your love conquers all No longer wearing that cape yet you still touch the sky My Superman you'll forever fly So here's to you my Superman my forever shining star No matter what the years bring I love you just the way you are Superman my hero you'll always have my heart
