Universe Through Your Eyes

Verse 1

Picked up pieces, shattered shield

You landed soft among the cornfields

I watched, I waited, wide dark sky

Staring past clouds with hopeful eyes

Clark, you always hid your cape

Covered strength, gentle giant shape

You, farmer from Smallville, mystery deepened slow

Turned my world, made me see again

Your truth, your pain, silent soul

Chorus

My super-heroes, not a story on a screen

Love lingered where you’d been

Save the world and keep some time for me

All I ask, all I dream

See the universe through your eyes

When you fly you carry me

Post-Chorus

Carry me, carry me

When you fly you carry me

Verse 2

Your laugh broke thunder, late July

Fields of gold beneath the endless sky

You caught me falling fast, then slow

How could anyone ever know?

A little light in your gaze

Broke through my hardest days

I discovered who you were, right there at dawn

Not silver, not steel

Just Clark, real, and raw

Chorus

My super-heroes, not a story on a screen

Love lingered where you’d been

Save the world and keep some time for me

All I ask, all I dream

See the universe through your eyes

When you fly you carry me

Post-Chorus

Carry me, carry me

When you fly you carry me

Bridge

Maybe I’m brave, maybe foolish just to try

Maybe I wait, maybe I watch the sky

Maybe I want a hero after all

Starlit and strong

Always come home (always come home)

Verse 3

You, thunder in your stride

Gentle hands hide fire inside

Alliterations, secrets, Sunday trains

A promise whispered, just my name

I wonder if the world knows

Or if it’s only me who sees

You rescue lives, return to dust and seeds

And keep some time for me

Chorus

My super-heroes, not a story on a screen

Love lingered where you’d been

Save the world and keep some time for me

All I ask, all I dream

See the universe through your eyes

When you fly you carry me

Post-Chorus

Carry me, carry me

When you fly you carry me

Outro

Save the world, but find me here

Eyes on you, universe near

You, the farmer, the hero I see

And still, you always carry me
