Note from the Songwriter:

Do you have a special shirt, dress, or tie hanging in your closet? You know the one- when you wear it, it makes you feel invincible, like you can do anything? Clothes have incredible power. Wearing the shirt you got on vacation can take you back to the beach, for just a moment. The suit you wore when you won the spelling bee reminds you that you can overcome challenges. And that purple shirt just makes you feel… awesome! Jewish ritual clothing serves the same purpose, as a physical, feel-able reminder of how to be our best selves. While you may not see a comic book superhero wearing a Kippah or Tallit, these are just as powerful as any cape can be!
Lyrics:

Sometimes it’s hard
remembering what I should do
So many choices every day
Should I speak out?
Should I make friends with someone new?
What are the words that I should say?

Well superman may have a cape, and wonder woman too
but I’ve got super clothing that reminds me what to do!

Chorus
Cause when I’ve got my kippah on
it reminds me to be strong
to always think of others
and do things that would make God proud of me
And when I’ve got my tallis on
it reminds me right from wrong
so I can do mitzvot
and be the best me that I can be

On my head
my kippah shows me which way’s up
I know I’m not the only one
And hanging down
I see my tzitzit and they tell me
that there’s justice to be done
Well I may not be a superhero
but I can do my best
At school at shul, at work at play
it starts when I get dressed!

Chorus

bridge
Some people only wear them when they pray
And other people wear them every day
It’s something you can choose to do
to help you be the best you
to be a superhero too!
