I'm a bored superhero

With nothing left to do

I've saved the Earth a hundred times

And distant planets too

Defeated every villain

And foiled their evil plans

No longer called to action

I'm not a busy man

I'm a bored superhero

So hire me if you like

I'll clean your house at triple speed

Or trace your stolen bike

Perform at children's parties

Or walk your dog for you

I'm a bored superhero

With nothing left to do

Harriet Tubman didn't take no stuff

Wasn't scared of nothing neither

Didn't come in this world to be no slave

And wasn't going to stay one either


"Farewell!" she sang to her friends one night

She was mighty sad to leave 'em

But she ran away that dark, hot night

Ran looking for her freedom


She ran to the woods and she ran through the woods

With the slave catchers right behind her

And she kept on going till she got to the North

Where those mean men couldn't find her


Nineteen times she went back South

To get three hundred others

She ran for her freedom nineteen times

To save Black sisters and brothers


Harriet Tubman didn't take no stuff

Wasn't scared of nothing neither

Didn't come in this world to be no slave

And didn't stay one either

And didn't stay one either


What is the point of view?

a)

First person

b)

second person

c)
