• The superhero saves the day,
    That's the story we're always told
    The epic, awesome champion
    Who's always brave and bold.

    But what about the minor players,
    Those who stand behind the winner?
    Who have just as much a hand
    In destroying the awful sinner?

    There's a reason for us sidekicks
    We're here to lend a hand.
    But since we're hidden by the hero
    Our glories aren't as grand.

    I could say it doesn't bother me
    I'm just here to help.
    But if I said I believed all that
    I'd be lying to myself.

    Sidekicks are heroes in their own right
    We help to save the day.
    But the splendor of the superheroes
    Often gets in the way.

    Someday I'll get my recognition
    I'll get what I deserve.
    But until then, it'll be alright
    I'll just be in reserve.
