From the recording A New Song USA
“If I Were Superman” is a playful and heartfelt exploration of dreams, imagination, and the longing to make a difference. The song weaves through a series of whimsical “what ifs”—from being president to flying like Superman—capturing the universal desire to do more, be more, and reach beyond our limits. At its core, it’s a story about hope and humility: just a kid from Brooklyn with big dreams and a resilient spirit. Through its honest verses and soaring chorus, “If I Were Superman” reminds us that even if we can’t fly, we all have the power to dream, try, and touch the world in our own way.
Lyrics
If I were President, they'd put my face on a four-dollar bill
If I were King, my reign would rouse a thrill
If I were a Builder, I’d build forever If I were a Painter, I’d paint the day
If I were a Millionaire, I’d buy whatever caught my eye
And, if I were Superman...I’d fly.
If I were a Cowboy, I’d shoot the fastest gun
If I were a Runner, I’d make the longest run
If I were a Lion, I’d rule the jungle If I were a river, I’d flow in peace
If I were a Spaceman, I’d go to every star in the sky
And, if I were Superman...I’d fly.
But I’m just a kid from Brooklyn trying to keep my dreams alive
I don’t have a lot of money, but I always seem to get by
Maybe someday my luck will change; maybe I’ll make a plan
But, till that happens you’ve gotta understand...
If I were a General, I’d bring peace to every war
If I were Music, I’d play on every shore
If I were a Hero, I’d save the day if I were a poet I'd touch your soul
If I were a detective I’d solve the toughest crimes
And, if I were Superman...oh my If I were Superman...I’d fly.
