Five For Fighting musician John Ondrasik has revamped one of his most popular songs to honor Israeli hostages held by Hamas and encourages other artists to get on the “right side of history.”
In the revamped version, Ondrasik — also a pianist — croons: “I wish that I could cry/ fall upon my knees/ find a way to lie/ ’bout a home I’ll never say” to “… find a way to fly/ to a home I will soon see.”
“We changed a few [lyrics] to kind of recognize the spiritual fortitude of families like Idit and the hostages who’ve been released that are superhuman and the hope that everybody carries,” Ondrasik said.
“‘Superman,’ I think, resonated and still does, because it’s really about our own innate humanity and that we can’t be Superman, and that we are vulnerable and we can’t be everything for everyone.”
