Obvious

You know, it's really just us on this muddy rock, right?
Ain't no Superman
Ain't no Batman
Ain't no Ironman
Or Thor
Or Wonderwoman
Or Green flippin' Lantern
Just us, to save us, to lift us
each and every one

And life is not a sprint
Or a marathon
It's a relay
We pass the baton or torch or generation on
When we reach for one another
In the cold dark
Or in the soft bright dawn
It'll just be one of us
Let it be one of us
Trying our best
For you, and you, and you

Are we an enlightened people?
Will we leave this place better than we found it?
Obviously, I don't know but we, you, us
We'll keep trying
