lyrics

Listen to the city at night
It's good to be back in the sky
Waiting for a wrong to right
I hear a cry

Supersonic Soul on the way
The hero is back in town
Been a while since I saved the day
Tonight a bad guy goes down

I see the terror in her eyes
Why does she look at me like I'm the enemy
She runs to him and I realize
He's not the bad guy and I'm not the hero

Maybe if I'd taken the time
Maybe I would have seen, no need to intervene
Just an argument, not a crime
He's not the bad guy and I'm not the hero

Fly away into the night
Trying still to figure it out
I trusted I would always be right
But now I have a doubt

Supersonic Soul doesn't wait
I never had to think it through
To act when others hesitate
Used to be a virtue

I don't know how I could have misread
Always been the good guy, never had to justify
Just like The Reader said
Until I understand it better, I'm not the hero

If I can't trust first impression
If opinion's not a fact
If my gut is not a compass
If my instinct's not intact
If I can't tell what needs action
Then I won't know when to act
How will I know I'm the hero
Everything has changed

I really scared that woman
I really hurt that man
I never felt regret before
Gotta fix this, gotta change, if I can

I will look for what needs saving
'Fore I try to save the day
I will try to see the colors
or at least the shades of gray

I'll relearn to be a hero
Learn to find another way
Now I need to run to Ana
She'll know what to say
