World in Trouble

(Brian Hendrix)

I was checking Netflix for those original Superman movies, Christopher Reeve, and only found Supergirl. I'm a country music writer. Even still, I challenged myself to write a song that could be used as a theme for a superhero show, movie, series, etc. Five minutes later, this is what I had come up with. I think it's a great song. It's really about a girl who thinks she needs to be the best at everything to be loved, but the truth is that life is indifferent to you. Even if you're a hero, they only care about the hero, not about you, and they'll forget your name when you're gone. But it's laced with superhero references so hopefully I can one day hear it on a Netflix show. Enjoy.

(Chorus)
A world in trouble stays in trouble
'Til you save it, baby
Put on your cape and fly on over
And we'll dance the night away
A hero's flight, a hero's might
And we long to see you try
A world in trouble stays in trouble
'Til you come save it tonight

V1
Lace up your boots, the trial is over
The blistered ground sounds beneath
The weight of tensed lungs on your shoulders
The stomp pounds, grants their release
Free as birds, they soar above
Can't see if they drift into love
They forget your name, the trial is over

And they forget your name, the trial is over

(chorus)

V2
Hold on to your gun, the sky has fallen
The clouds ease the ground for none
Just make it harder to see the target
Dizzy when the rain falls up
Steady your hand to make a stand
There's a line, can't see the sand
You shoot for us now, the sky has fallen

Said you shoot for us now, the sky has fallen

(chorus)

V3
Stand tall for judgment, fear not the judge
The righteous never hang the scales
The Devil laughs now in your face, child
Only the battle will prevail 
You can't win if you don't lose
But you don't get the right to choose
The noble sentence, fear not the judge

Yeah, the noble sentence, fear not the judge

(chorus)
