Look
Up in the sky
It's a bird
It's a plane
No it's

Adam WarRock
[Verse 1]
What starts a small boy
Becomes a strong man
And comes to realizing
The power in one's hands
And one day the man is
Faced with one fate
And placed within the story
A path that one takes
And so starts the hero
Hands shaking at first
Who stumbles upon a power
And takes upon a curse
And keeps the secrets safe
And holds back the pain
And goes around and can't
Understand the sudden change
But the burden lies the heaviest
The broader the shoulders
Cause heroes can move mountains
While people can't keep sober
And so the day will come
When the city needs a light
And thus the hero rises
Out the dead of the night
And men will fight men
And demons will stay bottled
And harm to earth's step
And praise[?] will be throttled
And so he stands alone
And now he sees the way
And his life is not the same
And he's feeling is the absolute
[Chorus] X 2
Truth
Power and wisdom
It's all about a hero
And the power he's given
When face to face with life
Which side will he take
Cause the difference
In the hero and the villain
Is the absolute
Truth
Power and wisdom
It's all about a villain
And the plans that he's spinning
When the people need a hero
To come and save the day
Then the difference
In the hero and the villain
Is the absolute
Truth
[Verse 2]
With great power
Comes great responsibility
And life is ever changing
So people forget the memory
And after the thrill of battle
Has faded to black
What's left is just a boy
Who wants his life back
And still he finds solace
And though he goes alone
And soon he finds others
Who help him feel at home
And together they stand
But the threat level is higher
So the evil that they face
Also starts to conspire
When the battle hits home
And he's faced with a choice
Cause this time will
Test him more than what he's
Faced at this point
But within a hero finds a power
Greater than that
And he comes forth and still
Leaves his spirit intact
And deep within his eyes
Still rests the same boy
And stuck between worlds
He's a toy as the absolute
[Chorus] X 2
Truth
Power and wisdom
It's all about a hero
And the power he's given
When face to face with life
Which side will he take
Cause the difference
In the hero and the villain
Is the absolute
Truth
Power and wisdom
It's all about a villain
And the plans that he's spinning
When the people need a hero
To come and save the day
Then the difference
In the hero and the villain
Is the absolute
Truth
[X 3]
Up in the sky it's a bird it's a plane
Nah it's Adam WarRock
But everything has changed
Holding the mic
All the people are saying
There's an evil going on
And it's coming with the absolute truth
Up in the sky it's a bird it's a plane
Nah it's Adam WarRock
But everything has changed
Holding the mic
All the people are saying
There's an evil going on
And it's coming as the absolute
[Chorus] X 2
Truth
Power and wisdom
It's all about a hero
And the power he's given
When face to face with life
Which side will he take
Cause the difference
In the hero and the villain
Is the absolute

Power and wisdom
It's all about a villain
And the plans that he's spinning
When the people need a hero
To come and save the day
Then the difference
In the hero and the villain
Is the absolute
Truth
Up in the sky
It's a bird
It's a plane
No it's
