This was written about my father John Cummings, about how having a great example of a man as your father helps you to try and be a better human as a father the next time around.

lyrics

Once, when I was young
I had a superman, of my own
He'd comfort me, and keep me warm
A personal superman, of my own

Once, when I was five
I had a superman in my life
He'd protect me, and teach me life
A personal superman, in my life

It followed in time that I'd turn my mind
To my superman and see that I had
Superhuman powers of my own
It followed in time If live my life
And see that I could shape the lives of
Superheroes waiting for their time.
