They back me all the way.

• They'll be days like this" my momma said.
  When you open your hands to catch, and wind up with only blisters and bruises.
  When you try to step out of the phone booth and try to fly , and the very people you want to save, are the ones standing on your cape.
  When your boots will fill with rain, and you'll be up to your knees with disappointment
  And those are the very days you have all the more reason to say "Thank you".
