Superhero — 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 2am phonecalls 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

If I was a superhero I would break free And I wouldn't be imprisoned where ever you take me I would change everyone who's trying to change me 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 is 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

If I was a superhero I would break free And I wouldn't be imprisoned where ever you take me I would change everyone who's trying to change me 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
