about

Ragtime piano and a tenor banjo add a bright and novel sound to this song I wrote. I was inspired to write something for the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013. I am hoping terror is not the new normal.

lyrics

Oh for crying out loud. We're in trouble again. Misery we don't need your company. No, no, no, no, no. When terror struck, deep in our hearts, it robbed us of all our traditions. Left us with some crazy fear and lots of questions of why. Then you look around and you see there are no heroes, who will save the world?
Superman, Superman where are you? We've been calling out your name. Superman, Superman, where are you? We'd like for you to come and save the day.
If those who had, had a little less. Would those with less get a little more? That seems the questions that leads us into every God damn war. Then you look around and you see there are no heroes, who will save the world?
Superman, Superman, where are you? We've been calling out your name. Superman, superman, where are you? We'd like for you to come and save the day.
