"Superheroes" lyrics

"Superheroes"

All her life she has seen
Oh the meanest 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 that pain into power

When you've been 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 that pain into power

All the hurt, all the lies
All the tears that they cried
When the moment is just right
You'll 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 that pain into power

When you've been 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 that pain into power

Power, power, power, power, power
Power, power, power, power

Every day, every hour
Turn that pain into power

Power, power, power, power
Power, power, power, power

Every day, every hour
Turn that pain into power

She's got lions in her heart, a fire in her soul
He's got a beast in his belly that's so hard to control
'Cause they've taken too much hits, took it blow by blow
Now light a match, stand back, watch 'em explode

She's got lions in her heart, a fire in her soul
He's got a beast in his belly that's so hard to control
'Cause they've taken too much hits, took it blow by blow
Now light a match, stand back, watch 'em explode, explode, explode, explode, explode...

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 that pain into power

When you've been 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 that pain into power

Power, power, power, power
Oh, yeah...
Power, power, power, power

Every day, every hour
Turn that pain into power

Power, power, power, power
Ooh, yeah
Whoa
Power, power, power, power

Every day, every hour
Turn that pain into power

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

'Superheroes' is the first track from the band's fourth studio album. The song was premiered on BBC Radio 1 on the 23rd of July 2014.
The band said in an interview with All Access Music, "'Superheroes' is about people who are struggling to deal with the circumstances they are in, people who are the underdog. We get inspired by those people all the time and this song is very much for them."
Danny O'Donoghue revealed to Capital FM the following about filming the music video for this track, "We went to Johannesburg to shoot the video, there were about 200,000 people in the township and it's a pretty poor area. We went down and we set up a stage and basically this carnival atmosphere ensued."
Producer Andrew Frampton, who worked with the band on numerous occasions previously, is featured on the additional guitar on this track.
