Power-suit

There was a time when I ruled the universe
In my batman mask and superman cape
Changing the fate of nations and planets
Limited only by the power of imagination

Now it is I who am ruled by the world
In my manager mask and tailor-made suit
Changing nothing that amounts to much
Limited only by the power of conformity

I remember a time when I ran barefoot free
In my scruffy shorts and worn-out shirt
Eager to play and curious to discover
Living for the moment and judging by the heart

Now I walk the narrow corridors of power
In my leather shoes and silken tie
Eager to win and driven to dominate
Living for the future and judging by the past

And yet, inside, I am no different than before
I am still that boy, running wild and living free
Ever-ready for fun and poised to change destiny
There’s more to this power-suit than meets the eye!
