KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To ease my troubled mind
I left my body lying somewhere
In the sands of time
But I watched the world float
To the dark side of the moon
I feel there is nothing I can do, yeah
I watched the world float
To the dark side of the moon
After all I knew it had to be
Something to do with you
I really don't mind what happens now and then
As long as you'll be my friend at the end
If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I'm alive and well, will you be
There a-holding my hand
I'll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might
Kryptonite
You called me strong, you called me weak,
But still your secrets I will keep
You took for granted all the times
I never let you down
You stumbled in and bumped your head,
If not for me then you'd be dead
I picked you up and put you back on solid ground
If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I'm alive and well,
Will you be there a-holding my hand
I'll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might
Kryptonite
If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I'm alive and well, will you be there
Holding my hand
I'll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might
Kryptonite
Yeah!!
If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I'm alive and well,
Will you be there a-holding my hand
I'll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might
Kryptonite
Oh, whoa, whoa
Oh, whoa, whoa
Oh, whoa, whoa

I took a walk around the world
I went on a journey to try and find some peace
To ease my troubled mind
To find a way to calm down and relax
I left my body lying somewhere
I was so disconnected from my surroundings that my physical body was left behind
In the sands of time
In the past, where it belongs
But I watched the world float
As I detached myself from reality, I could only observe from a distance
To the dark side of the moon
To a dark and dangerous place where things are not what they seem
I feel there is nothing I can do, yeah
I feel powerless to stop what's happening
After all I knew it had to be
I knew deep down that this was coming
Something to do with you
You were involved somehow
I really don't mind what happens now and then
I'm indifferent to the outcomes from time to time
As long as you'll be my friend at the end
As long as you remain my friend through everything
If I go crazy then will you still
If I lose my mind, will you still be there for me?
Call me Superman
Will you still see me as your savior?
If I'm alive and well, will you be
If I'm okay, will you stand by my side?
There a-holding my hand
Lending me emotional support
I'll keep you by my side
I will always stand beside you
With my superhuman might
With all the strength I can muster
Kryptonite
An undiscovered weakness
You called me strong, you called me weak,
You described me as both strong and weak at various times
But still your secrets I will keep
I will always keep your secrets safe and confidential
You took for granted all the times
You weren't grateful enough for the times I was there for you
I never let you down
I never failed to provide you with the support you needed
You stumbled in and bumped your head,
You made mistakes and got hurt
If not for me then you'd be dead
If I hadn't been there for you, things would have ended badly
I picked you up and put you back on solid ground
I helped you regain your footing and helped you keep going
Oh, whoa, whoa
