[Verse 1]
He was the light in a dark night and sparked fights
A bat on a silent wing with a harsh bite
Born from the earliest of tragedies
Of watching the corruption of the city k** his family
And at a young age he's faced with a decision
Confront the situation that plays with this position
And any man would understand
If he packed his bags and left the streets there abandoned
But not him, this man was different
And he could always see the hope in the distance
A fast rhyme, but he opened his eyes to realize
That he could almost see the change in horizon
So he kept on to never be defeated
The hero we deserved not the hero that we needed
And if you went back to that fateful day
And asked the kid he'd say, "Tomorrow's just a dream away"
[Hook]
Is it family or purpose?
Is it hell is it worse?
Gotham is...
Is it home is it perfect?
Is it damned is it cursed?
Gotham is...
Is it progress, change?
Is it a losing game?
Gotham is...
The future, ask Bruce Wayne
He'll say tomorrow's just a dream away
[Verse 2]
They say the night is always darkest when it's just before the dawn
But every night he raised the darkness as to catalyze the calm
A watchful protector, the brave and the bold
Shepard to the lost, a flame in the cold
Was he the hope? No, but he was hopeful
People of the city learned to stand on their own
So he would lead the way
And show them that tomorrow's just a dream away
With bold plans, of a brand new Gotham
To rise above it, it starts at the bottom
Rebuild the derelict and expunge the rancid
With expansive plans is to modernize transit
The darkness fell, he knew they could beat it
The people all along were the heroes that they needed
And if you found the Bat today
Asked the man he'd say, "Tomorrow's just a dream away"
