Lyrics

It was a long time ago Perhaps I was 7 or 8 When our teacher said we should know A new boy is joining and he is great

These days we were divided Between clever and dumb Our tutors were simply one-sided When I was called, I often felt numb

But there he was, totally sure The whole world was at his fingertips Opposite of me, so secure Tall, handsome, with his tight lips

He was never bullied, unlike me He knew his strength Maybe he had a magic key I still remember his figure in full-length

Superior hero, wanting everything he saw Superior hero, grabbing what was there to grab Superior hero who was above the law Superior hero, secretly called king crab

Where are you now, superior hero? In truth you are worth zero

Nice Nadia, don't know if I've ever seen one of your lyrics - you are good at that too! A great description of the guy, can picture him in my mind!

Remind me of Dylan's The times they are a changing: "The first one now will later be last" Your writing showed just that Nice take on the prompt

I think you have really captured the essence of the awkwardness of school in these lyrics, when things seem so important before you find out about the real world. A really good set of lyrics and a lovely take on the prompt. Good job
