Lyrics:
Verse 1
Oh he slammed that door
Threw the cape up on his shelf
And held on
He was just praying fora chance to save him from himself
Cause he’s lost

Pre-chorus 1
Child you went from small town
To kicking with Superman in mansions off of Sunset
How are you not happy
Come down
You’re missing your love back on the earthIs it worth it
Is it worth it

Chorus 1
So hide your face
Smile at the people even if it’s fake
Cause they can’t know your Kryptonite
Fly around the city, make em
Think you’re fine

But you can’t save them
But you can’t save em all

Verse 2
Oh you picked up the phone And the mayor was on the line
What are you waiting for
Oh why are you empty When you saw that signal in the sky
But you wanted more

Pre-chorus 2
Child you went from small town
To kicking with Superman in mansions off of Sunset
How are you not happy
Come down
You’re missing your love back on the earth
Is it worth it
Is it worth it

Chorus 2
So hide your face
Smile at the people even if it’s fake
Cause they can’t know your Kryptonite Fly around the city, make em
Think you’re fine

But you can’t save them
But you can’t save em all

Chorus 3
So hide your faceSmile at the people even if it’s fake
Cause they can’t know your Kryptonite Fly around the city, make em
Think you’re fine

But you can’t save them
But you can’t save em all

Ouch. He said old and 2000’s in the same sentence.
Owwwieeee.
I’m ancient.
I love his music.

[marciahyde]

I loved music but couldn't follow or play ANY notes. But listening to this, you made my heart and soul soar ! 😂

[laurafilippini]

I'm 63 and love this guy's music! i hope he can help boys and girls to find their way to be happy. Thank Livingston!

[speaktheunspokentruth]

I love getting to go back to the songs I've never heard of yours

[L-beans]

This is so interesting! Thank you Livingston. I know this is an old video, but I’ve never seen any other artist do this with their songs and explain them and talk about them and literally show us the program it’s on. It means a lot that you made these videos because I’m really interested in the computer tech for song making. It’s cool to see.

Kid knows his vocal lingo, powerful and elegant voice, and enthusiastic music. Stay golden, pony boy😇

We have lived such similar lives. When I was whisked away to NYC for people to fawn over me and write me large checks, I remember thinking that having your dreams come true is actually very empty. I kept working on it and eventually figured out that the only way to solve that problem is plugging that hole with God.

[Thelemonmop]

My favorite song on earth right when I heard it

[gertenanjafix-boerdijk]

Wow what a process towards a song. And you tell it with so much passion. It's like you want to take everyone on a journey through your you!!

I found him a year ago and now I am completely in love with his songs, soul and personality...he is a great musician.., his lyrics and music are therapy for many people, it helps us all understand life
