Asked you a question
I didn't need you to reply
Is it gettin' heavy?
But they'll realize
Is it gettin' heavy?
Well, I thought it was already as heavy
As can be
Is it overwhelming
To use a crane to crush a fly?
It's a good time for Superman
To lift the sun into the sky
'Cause it's gettin' heavy
Well, I thought it was already as heavy
As can be
Tell everybody
Waitin' for Superman
That they should try to
Hold on
Best they can
He hasn't dropped them
Forgot them
Or anything
It's just too heavy for Superman to lift
Is it gettin' heavy?
Well, I thought it was already as heavy as can be
Tell everybody
Waitin' for Superman
That they should try to
Hold on
Best they can
He hasn't dropped them
Forgot them
Or anything
It's just too heavy for Superman to lift

When I heard this song it rang true with what happened to me:
I was finding life harder taking on more responsibilities; marriage, baby, moving house, promotion, another baby At one point I was feeling like superman and then it got harder and harder and I began to break. I became depressed despite the wonderful things happening around me, I felt I was failing everyone.
Somewhere I knew I hadn't dropped my family, friends or responsibilities, nor had I forgot them or anything, it was just getting too heavy for me to lift. When I broke down I was just telling everybody to wait for me.
I am doing better now. And my sons love Superman.
