enter the only one

there were so many when he started this race
now they're all gone, but he remembers the faces
together they were gonna change the world
now there's only one left, as the moment unfurls

he was young and he believed in his mission
now he's alone, do the other ones miss him
the time has come for him to hang up his cape
that's what everyone says, but that's just not his way

(chorus)

enter the only one
he's just a lonely one
fighting a losing war
but he believes what he's fighting for
enter the only one
he's just a lonely one
a hero hangin' on beyond his day
'cause all the other heroes flew away

he just hangs out in his fortress of solitude
clark kent lost his gig, now what's he gonna do?
lois lane just ran away with the flash
now the man of steel, feels like the man of glass

jimmy olson grew up and he moved to L.A.
perry white just got old, and he passed away
lex luther moved on, even he's in retirement
spending all of his his loot, trying to save the environment

(back to chorus)

in memory of the late christopher reeve
