Daughtry - Waiting for Superman 

This man saved a woman from being run over, stopped a robber from stealing another woman's handbag, pulled a suicidal man to safety, chased off a group of bullies, returned the bullied girl home, and nearly got arrested twice. All in a day's work. Talk about Superman!

I still fail to understand why on earth is Daughtry still an underrated artist because he sings more beautifully than most artists I've ever heard. I never wanna die without having to meet him.

Who’s here 10 years later!?

Being a superhero isn't always about the glory. Sometimes, it's about their guts.

To all the good people out there who dont get recognized, we appreciate you, without people like you we as a society would crumble.

0% pornography 0% nude dancing female(or male) striper 0% curses 50% superman 50% pure talent Yup sure i'll be listening this 60yrs later

This sound is so wonderful. The person who is reading this comment, I wish you great success, health, love and happiness!

Does his voice give anyone else chills like it does me? Such a great voice.

Lex Luthor is singing about Superman in a positive light. I've seen it all now

Well it's official: Quarantine brings everyone back to the good songs.

9 years later, I find this song on accident, this is absolutely amazing. I can't stop looping it, already 4 hours in. I think I found a new favorite song.

This song makes me think of my boyfriend who is my superman who saved me from a horrible situation and always knows how to help me not get depressed about anything.

This dude is so much more then just "the guy that sang home" or "the rottweiler" or "the American idol guy". He is an an incredible song writer, wonderful singer, genuinely good human being, and and amazing performer with a great stage presence. Everyone, wether they love rock or not, can agree that his songs are amazing. We need more draughty and he needs so much more appreciation

Hate how people are so quick to judge. Dude saved those people and nearly got arrested. That's how things are in reality as well and it's sad. Rock on Daughtry 😎🤘

To whomever being so kind, brave and selfless like this guy, this song is dedicated to you. You are loved and the world needs more people like you. Thank you for being you.

8 years later and this is still one of my favorite songs!! It aged like fine wine for sure

I don't think that girl truly knows how much that hug meant to him.

Some people don't know how far a hug can go for someone who feels unappreciated but continue to do the respectable things in life.

That vocal burn falsetto at the end was incredibly flawless I had to hear it ten times to fully appreciate what I just heard he is absolutely incredible

Who else is listening to this in 2024?

Lyrics: She's watching the taxi driver He pulls away She's been Locked up inside her apartment A hundred days She says Yeah, he's still coming Just a little bit late He got stuck at the laundromat Washin' his cape She's just Watchin' the clouds roll by And they spell her name Like Lois Lane And she smiles Oh the way she smiles She's talking to angels Counting the stars Making a wish on a passing car She's dancing with strangers Falling apart Waiting for Superman to pick her up In his arms Yeah In his arms Yeah And waiting for Superman She's out on the corner Trying to catch a glimpse Nothing's making sense She's been Chasing an answer A sign lost in the abyss This Metropolis She says Yeah, he's still coming Just a little bit late He got stuck at the Five and Dime Saving the day She says If life was a movie Then it wouldn't end like this Left without a kiss Still she smiles Oh the way she smiles Yeah She's talking to angels She's counting the stars Making a wish on a passing car She's dancing with strangers She's falling apart Waiting for Superman to pick her up In his arms Yeah In his arms Yeah She's waiting for Superman To lift her up And take her anywhere Show her love And climbing through the air Save her now Before it's too late tonight Oh Like a speeding light And she smiles She's talking to angels She's counting the stars Making a wish on a passing car She's dancing with strangers She's falling apart Waiting for Superman to pick her up In his arms Yeah In his arms Yeah She's waiting for Superman To lift her up And take her anywhere Show her love And climbing through the air Save her now Before it's too late tonight She's waiting for Superman Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Martin Johnson / Samuel Hollander / Christopher Daughtry Waiting for Superman lyrics © Emi April Music Inc., Surface Pretty Deep Ugly Music, Mayday Malone, Martin Music Inc

This dude can't catch a break...that hug must've melted his soul lol

I really like his music. He deserves more recognition. This song is one of my favorites and it tells a great story about not judging others.

We call my dad Superman. He’s obsessed with the comics and movies. He has 4 girls and calls our Momma his own Louis Lane..he wants this played at his funeral. I cry every time I hear it now that he’s made that request.

Does anyone realize how sad it is that this is real life? That, when someone is saved from getting hit by a bike, they don't ask why they did that, they just shoot them down? That when you try to help, everyone makes to look like you were making it worse? That when a man is about to jump, no one tries to talk some sense into him? We just stand there, hoping to catch it on camera to update Twitter? That only a little girl understand this.

Lyric: She’s watching the taxi driver, he pulls away She’s been locked up inside her apartment a hundred days She says, “yeah, he’s still coming, just a little bit late He got stuck at the laundromat washing his cape” She’s just watching the clouds roll by and they spell her name like louis lane And she smiles, oh, the way she smiles She’s talking to angels, counting the stars Making a wish on a passing car She’s dancing with strangers, falling apart Waiting for Superman to pick her up In his arms, in his arms Waiting for Superman She’s out on the corner trying to catch a glimpse Nothing’s making sense She’s been chasing an answer A sign lost in the abyss, this metropolis She says "yeah, he’s still coming, just a little bit late He got stuck at the Five and Dime saving the day” She says: "if life was a movie, then it wouldn’t end like this Left without a kiss" Still, she smiles, the way she smiles, yeah She’s talking to angels, she’s counting the stars Making a wish on a passing car She’s dancing with strangers, she’s falling apart Waiting for Superman to pick her up In his arms, in his arms She’s waiting for superman To lift her up and take her anywhere Show her love and climbing through the air Save her now before it’s too late tonight Oh, like a speeding light And she smiles She’s talking to angels, she’s counting the stars Making a wish on a passing car She’s dancing with strangers, she’s falling apart Waiting for superman to pick her up In his arms, in his arms She’s waiting for Superman To lift her up and take her anywhere Show her love and climbing through the air Save her now before it’s too late tonight She’s waiting for Superman

This song proves that "Not all Superheroes wear a cape." Everyone can be their own hero just by helping others and making great things in life.

Years later and this song is still AWESOME!!! 💯

I hope to be someone's Superman one day

To all the heroes out there, keep holding strong and doing the right thing despite what people thinks of you

Waiting for Superman in this world 😢❤

My English teacher was blasting this song and I couldn't help myself but write down the lyrics to search it later. The vocals gives me chills. Such a radical song fr🤟💞

Just a reminder that the right thing isn't always easy. People may hate you for it, but you do it because it is right and that is all you need.

Sometimes being a hero feels pointless. Your deeds goes unnoticed, your struggles seems to repeat themself. So why do we keep going? Because the 1 in every 100 who says, “Thank you”, gives you a hug, means more to us than we will ever realize. So be a hero to those you meet in your daily life. That hug, high five, bad joke, you being silly, might just be what a person needed to smile again. And a smile is all it takes to give the encouragement, that tommorow will be better.

This song is about how all good deeds do not go recognized. You don't do it for glory. You do it because its right!

Daughtry is so underappreciated. I was in a car accident a few years ago that totaled five cars. A nurse on her way home from an overnight shift who happened to be driving by witnessed the accident and pulled over before paramedics or police could arrive and administered care to one of the other drivers who had hit his head and was bleeding pretty badly. She had us call his wife so that she could head to the hospital and meet him there. She said she didn't typically take that route but was so glad she had that day. Superheros arn't in movies, they're all around us.

"When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all." - Futurama nailed that line.

This song is my husband, he is my superman. He rescued me when I was in trouble and that girl that is getting picked on is me. I thank god everyday for him being in my life, because without him, I believe I would not be here on this green earth no more. This music I believe is based on my husband of what he went through and how we met one and another.

So my sister showed me this video years ago and I just remembered it and it’s so true how you can spend your whole life helping others and going out of your way to try to help them and 9 times out of 10 they’re gonna bitch and complain and blame you for it, and it’s only that one person that is genuinely grateful and appreciates you. But that’s the one person that makes all the other bullshit worth it

How can many people NOT Getting the OBVIOUS Message of Mr Daughtry HERE ? The guy IS Superman but we re in an era were GOOD is seen as BAD and BAD People are seen as the HEROES and GLORIFIED while the real HEROES Of Today (nurses, doctors, firemen ect) are treated mostly with disdain&ignorance towards the LIVES They SAVE..This song is about doing GOOD DEEDS on a daily basis. You seen a blind person trying to go across the streets ? Ask him/her gently to help him/her and hold his/her hand. Give your seat to a pregnant woman or an elder who is standing on the bus, stand for weak and lost person by just LISTENING To THEM and telling them they're worth it. The morale of the video IS , Despite "Superman'" getting treated like shit the whole thing HE ENDS UP getting the REWARD Of having saved HER LIFE and make her self feeling better and protected. Everybody can be a HERO by just doin those kind of things...

We need more people like this in the world

One of the most underrated songs and artists ever! His lyrics and musical punch in his songs are powerful and beautiful. He has moved me many times and I thank him. I miss him in this "musical" wasteland.

Superman 2023 and still here,, much love from Kenya 🇰🇪

Just imagine, that he saved a whole family in one day... He saves the girl from the cyclist. (Sister) He snaps the thief of the handbag. (Mother) He stops the man from suicide. (Father) He stops the bullying of the girl. (The girl, that is waiting for superman) Nice video and good music!

This video made me cry... I want to give that man a hug and a medal

I've loved Daughtry since first seeing him on American Idol.His music helps me deal with the lose of my wife of 32 years.Thank you.

I know it's about how one person can make a difference. But it also makes me remember my grandmother and her alzheimer condition. She existed in today, living of yesterday. Waiting for superman, her son/my dad, and supergirl, myself her grandaughter, to care for her and save her from her ills. She forgot everything and everyone except my dad and myself. This song always reminds me of her. Miss you Grama...

2021 has been so hard, just here waiting for Superman. Staying positive.

daughtry is so underrated and it makes me sad

A teacher in my highschool put this song for a motivation talk before starting a class, tomorrow i'll succesfully graduate from highschool and probably i won't see him again. Thanks a lot teacher Rodolfo for showing me this masterpiece.

Daughtry's songs and music videos really tell deep stories, it's both inspiring and heartbreaking at the same time!! I still think he should have won American Idol that season but hey, I'm glad ppl are still loving his songs all these years later :D

This music video is kind of sad in a way. The guy is always thought to have been the criminal, but instead he is the good guy. He is one of the few truly good people left in this world. Not many are anymore. They should be thankful to him. For we should treasure what truly good people w have left.

RIP Hannah Daughtry. Condolences to the entire family. This song helped me get through a lot of long and hungry days and nights during college for which I will forever be grateful to Daughtry for. Keeping the entire family in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless.

Whoever is even attempting of doing me inconvenience. God will take every blessing He has given to them. God's Wrath is real.

Shows anyone can be a superhero all it takes is a few small acts of kindness. The guy didn't have any powers yet he stood up for others no matter what happened to him

There is something about this song... I may just be an ordinary 15 year old boy... But this song let's us know there are still people in the world continuing to show kindness, and proving they care for society... Also it helps girls see that the good guys out there they are nothing but nice and try there hardest to be with the one they want, they girls blown them off for some 'bad boy' when clearly there is someone there who truly care for them. Sorry for the rant guys, thanks to who ever read this. Let's get the point across to the world that there is still good left in our lives!!!! People who receive pleasure by helping there before themselves. I'm proud to say that I try to be one of these people. My life revolves around trying to help others and make others feel special. I know what I want to do in my life, yet im only 15. I want to help people. Thanks again guys

the sad part about this is there are really good people like this and people don't see it

Man, I have not heard this song in a long time. I used to play this song over and over back then. 52 years old and I miss real music like this!

Superman’s smile near the end made my day haha great music and music video. Came back after so many years to this masterpiece. Daughtry is so underrated.

all he wanted was a little appreciation. but everyone always assumed he was up to no good. he saved the day more times than most police officers in three days. (I'm talking individually )

“She’s been locked in her apartment for a hundred days” Daughtry predicted quarantine confirmed.

My superman left me 7 years ago, , with no explanation, no good bye, all because the truth was to much for him to live with, ...

This is one of absolute favorite songs and in my opinion, the video only made it that much greater. Hats off to everyone involved in it's production. Truly a job well done.

this song is so beautiful and it's real music and not all those other songs they write today. this one actually has meaning

You could save anyone, you could act like a hero every day. But the ones who truly need saving will always be thankful.

I remember how I fell in love with Daughtry's voice way back in high school❤and keep on playing his songs until now.

I think a true hero never does what they do for recognition. They do it because its the right thing to do. This video and song are AMAZING. There is a superman/superwoman out there for everyone.... Even a few Lois lanes... LOL

Society truly doesn't appreciate the true heroes anymore. The invisible ones.

They played this at the West Palm Beach show 9/16. Great show guys. They are so underrated. Chris has a great voice and such great energy for everyone.

The video is exactly on point. The good people are so rare nowadays and they are treated like shit because people aren't used to seeing them. But how about after realizing the person was being nice that we thank them and apologize for treating them like shit because then they feel worthless and don't want to be nice anymore

2018 still love this. My thing is he never got mad at anyone. He couldve told the lady she was about to get hit and didnt. He let her scream and get her frustration out. He kept doing good no matter how much backlash he got. Thats why hes Superman.

Why's he so underrated?? His voice is literally amazing!

Can't stop listening to this song 🤌❣️

Waiting for this world to end or change, waiting for the power of flight, waiting for something worthy of my soul.

Shows how people jump to conclusions without nowing the full story and how some of the most kindest people get treated the worst.

The part when the girl went up to the man and hugged him made me almost cry because the others had no words or actions of gratitude just the girl he saved and she helped him know that what he did was good.

We need to here more from Daughtry what a beautiful voice

My heart goes out to Deanna, Chris and their family. I'm sure this year has been a challenge with the loss of Hannah. With the battles of mental health, suicide, and the loss from it we all wait for our superman. I wish you all healing peace.

Just a reminder... Don't ignore the people that are right in front of you, because they might be your superman just waiting for someone to save.

This is a man who can sing

How many unknown heroes are out there ? Beautiful tribute to people that are heroes that go not wanting any gratitude.

Doesn't matter what song he sings, sounds so good. My son saw him in concert in South Carolina with Breaking Benjamin, my granddaughter was with him and she was rocking out. She loved it so much. We've been loving him since American Idol even when he didn't win, he was our winner.

I love how realistic this is. Oh, and I get the feeling the guy who was helping everyone else up was also waiting for his own Superman, whose clearest form was the girl who thanks him at the end of the video.

"She's talking to angels, counting the stars" 😇💜

I've been through a lot of situations in my past so I listen to this song every single day to help me keep my motivation going and get to my goals

I will be meeting Daughtry and his band in Waukegan, Il. on 9/11. And I cannot believe it. I had tickets to go see him in March of 2020. But was in the hospital after surgery and unable to walk. I am able to walk with ah stagger after therapy now. So, I am as excited as HELL to go and meet him, his band and listen to them. I just can't wait!

This guy's voice is legendary!

I feel like we're all waiting for superman to show up, but if were all waiting. Who's going to be superman?

Still waiting on superman or will you be the hero, the superman, the kindly heart that saves the day?

Something about Chris Daughtry singing takes me to my own Euphoria Makes me forget about everything going on right now good or bad and makes me feel zen

This song is really motivational to me and makes me want to go around town just looking for people to help! Everyone that reads this, try to help everyone you can and make someone's day no matter what they think of you afterwards!

There will always be a hero among us, unrecognised, unappreciated, and even ignored. And we know we have so many in this times of the pandemic, dedicated men and women, working at harms way, oblivious to the dangers before them with only one purpose, to help the best way they can, expecting nothing. Supermen and women in our midst. We owe them so much.

Your music never dissapoint me

This song is old but gold and this band is like a star 🫡 thank you for inspiring others! ❤

If you are a healthcare worker or any other person who's dealing everyday to make this world better: You are the Superman that we have waiting for. Thank you.

Can't find lyrics so here it is She's watching the taxi driver, he pulls away She's been locked up inside her apartment a hundred days She says, yeah, he's still coming, just a little bit late He got stuck at the laundromat washing his cape" She's just watching the clouds roll by and they spell her name like Lois Lane And she smiles, oh the way she smiles She's talking to angels, counting the stars Making a wish on a passing car She's dancing with strangers, falling apart Waiting for Superman to pick her up In his arms yeah, in his arms yeah Waiting for Superman She's out on the corner trying to catch a glimpse Nothing's making sense She's been chasing an answer A sign lost in the abyss, this Metropolis She says "Yeah, he's still coming, just a little bit late" He got stuck at the Five and Dime saving the day" She says "If life was a movie, then it wouldn't end like this" Left without a kiss Still, she smiles, oh the way she smiles, yeah She's talking to angels, she's counting the stars Making a wish on a passing car She's dancing with strangers, she's falling apart Waiting for Superman to pick her up In his arms yeah, in his arms yeah She's waiting for Superman To lift her up and take her anywhere Show her love and climbing through the air Save her now, before it's too late tonight Oh like the speed of light And she smiles She's talking to angels, she's counting the stars Making a wish on a passing car She's dancing with strangers, she's falling apart Waiting for Superman to pick her up In his arms yeah, oh in his arms yeah She's waiting for Superman To lift her up and take her anywhere Show her love and climbing through the air Save her now before it's too late tonight She's waiting for Superman

a superman typically flies around. but, no matter, if you have the power to save, you, too can be a hero.

I like to think the dude in the video was literally Clark Kent Superman, he just never needed to use his powers that day to do his thing. I'm surprised that's not an angle comic writers have taken more advantage of...

He has no super powers, but that man did save people. What a real-life hero!

we need more songs like this in the world .. it's just good for the soul
