SUPERPODER

SUPERPOWER
Years and millennia it took me to see
That I can be a bullfighter, sword, and bull all at once
Now I can see it, now I can see it
Pure like water, heart of a fish
Kissed by the sun, brown-skinned
Mom cries at night, doesn’t know what to do
Another letter’s come in the mail
Can’t pay the bills, can’t find food to eat
That girl is broken, feels too much
Neighbors gossip all around the block
Life goes on, years keep passing
Now I fly around the world, living on stages
That girl is broken, feels too much
Neighbors gossip all around the block
Life goes on, years keep passing
Now I fly around the world, living on stages
I learned to cry while singing
I learned to sing while crying
Together we’re changing
The ugly side of this cruel world
I learned to cry while singing
I learned to sing while crying
Together we’re changing
The ugly side of this cruel world
Superpower (superpower), superpower
Superpower, superpower
Superpower (superpower), superpower
Superpower, superpower
The zeros in my bank account aren’t inherited
I earned them all by singing, on my own
I’m like a poppy, brown and red
I don’t need anyone, I take care of myself
Dad smiles at me like nothing’s wrong
Even when everything’s about to blow up
While his girl goes from hospital to hospital
Never lacking what can’t be bought
In case they told you that you couldn’t
Because of money and its tyranny
For the working-class neighborhoods, for my Malvinas
You can be whatever you want, blessed be your life
In case they told you that you couldn’t
Because of money and its tyranny
For the working-class neighborhoods, for my Malvinas
You can be whatever you want, blessed be your life
I learned to cry while singing
I learned to sing while crying
Together we’re changing
The ugly side of this cruel world
I learned to cry while singing
I learned to sing while crying
Together we’re changing
The ugly side of this cruel world
Superpower (superpower), superpower
Superpower, superpower
Superpower (superpower), superpower
Superpower, superpower
