Prompt

A struggling comic-book character is carried through a hard moment by the promise of a story still to come, then finds hope in ordinary connections and learns to pass that hope along. Hook: “Spider-Man saved my life, gave me one more page”

Lyrics

Chorus

Spider-Man saved my life, gave me one more page

I kept reading, so I stayed

Verse 1

I was ink gone gray in the gutter of the book

Then a caption whispered, wait and look

Chorus

Spider-Man saved my life, gave me one more page

I kept reading, so I stayed

Verse 2

Now I hold the door, I learn my neighbor's name

Pass the comic on so they turn the page

Final Chorus

Spider-Man saved my life, gave me one more page

Now I hand it on, one more page
