You make me happy, I would write
on a banner flying over the city.
You would see it in colors all these miles.
The day is opening. The weather will be fine.
The trees will be strong.
The trains and taxis will arrive.
Hey, I see the way you are so kind
to everyone you come by.
Do you hear me cheering for you now?
I am hollering across these grounds:
you’re a superhero, superhero,
superhero of mine.
We take our cameras out to the zoo
and ride the tram. The trees blur by,
and then we can see how the animals
are even in the clouds today.
They return your smiles.
Hey, I see the way you are so kind
to everyone you come by.
And do you hear me cheering for you now?
I would sing it out across these grounds:
you’re a superhero, superhero,
superhero of mine.
