Cette chanson évoque l'idée d'un super-héros qui, malgré ses incroyables pouvoirs, ne recherche pas de gloire ni de récompense. On y parle de Superman, qui préférerait servir l'humanité plutôt que d'utiliser sa force pour des bénéfices personnels, contrastant avec des personnages comme Tarzan, souvent perçus comme des figures plus égoïstes. Le texte met en avant la solitude et le sacrifice que le héros endure, notamment en dépit de ses origines tragiques sur la planète Krypton. Il refuse de céder à la tentation de fuir dans les forêts pour vivre comme un roi, choisissant le combat pour le bien, même lorsque cela semble ingrat et difficile.
