[Verse 1]
You shaved your head before it fell
Joked you’d always liked that look
Smiled for us in hospital light
Hid the way your hands still shook
You walked the halls like burning coals
Every step a quiet war
You kept the monsters in your chest
But we’ve seen you win before
[Chorus]
You’re still my superhero
Cape or no cape
Scars and all
You think you fell down to zero
But you never dropped at all
You see a stranger in the mirror
We see the rock we always knew
You lost some flesh
You lost some fear
You never lost you
[Verse 2]
You flinch at every small cough now
Count the pills like rosary beads
Say you’re half the man you were
You’re just twice the man we need
We still hear your thunder laugh
Still get lost in your old stories
You say the color’s gone from life
We see you shining in the morning
[Chorus]
You’re still my superhero
Cape or no cape
Scars and all
You think you fell down to zero
But you never dropped at all
You see a stranger in the mirror
We see the rock we always knew
You lost some flesh
You lost some fear
You never lost you
[Bridge]
You beat the fire
Beat it twice (oh yeah)
Now you’re scared of your own ice
But every tremor in your voice
Is just proof you’re still alive
So take my hand
Take this roar
Hear us shaking every floor
If you can’t believe yourself
We’ll believe enough for four
[Chorus]
You’re still my superhero
Cape or no cape
Scars and all
You think you fell down to zero
But you never dropped at all (never dropped at all)
You see a stranger in the mirror
We see the rock we always knew
You lost some flesh
You lost some fear
You never lost you
[Outro]
Call yourself broken
Call yourself done
We just call you
Dad
The undefeated one
