Life just like this

We've been reading books of old, 

About legends and their myths. 

Listening to the fairytales being told, 

About men with super-human gifts. 

About noble heroes on a noble steed. 

Rescuing the maiden in distress. 

With a passionate kiss.

Clearly we saw ourselves on that list.

We wanted to be the hero 

Riding on a steed, 

On a quest to save the princess 

Who has been cursed into a sleep. 

To slay the fiery dragon and 

Climb to the highest room 

In the tallest tower, 

To awaken the princess 

With a true love kiss, 

Then ride into the sunset, 

In a fairytale bliss. 

How we wanted our lives to be like this.

But then truth be told, 

Life is far from this. 

There's nothing like a fairytale bliss. 

No superheroes 

Just a silly myth

We are just ordinary humans 

With no powers or gifts

There are no princess, 

 Or supernatural beasts, 

Just myths we read about and 

We want to believe in. 

We wear no super suit, 

Beneath our ordinary clothes, 

We can't take off into space 

To keep the world safe. 

We are ordinary humans 

Capable of the extraordinary if we wish, 

But we won't find our names on any lists, 

Still we want a life like this.

Running in the Rain

I am running in the rain

Just running in the rain

Such a glorious feeling

I am happy again

Though clouds darken the skies

And the rain falls in my eye

Blurring my sight 

Making difficult to see the light

I am running in the rain

I am running in the rain

Splashing away

Though the stormy weather

Gets everyone scurrying away

But I'll continue to run

Cause there ain't no scorching sun

The Rain will keep me cool

And joyous always

So I'll keep running in the rain

I am running in the rain

Like a child once again

Though I may be soaking wet

With my tee sticking to my chest

I really don't care

Cause it's so much fun anyway

I'll continue to run in the rain

I am dashing in the rain 

I am sprinting in the rain

Though puddles may block my path

Then I am a child heart

I really don't care 

If my socks are wet

From the water in my shoes

I'll keep splashing in the rain

I'll keep running rain

Will be content again

The rain hides my tears

And drowns my sorrows and fears

Bringing a calmness to my heart

As it caresses my face

Making forget my cares

As I go bounding down the lane

I'll keep running in the rain

I am running in the rain

Happy once again 

Cause I prefer the rains 

To the sun any day

I don't care for the muck

Or that I am down on my luck

No lightening and thunder can scare me

Cause I am happy once again 

So I'll keep running, running in the rain

I am no Superman - a confession of a silly mind

I am no superman

In fact I have no superpowers

I am just an ordinary man

Like everyone else

Unless you're an alien in secret

I was born on earth 

And know no kryptonian 

That would make me 

An earthling

Not a Kyryptonite

Kyrpton don't affect me

In fact I haven't even seen one

But food sure does

Get my stomach growling

I have no super suit

Or any flying abilities 

I do give my feet wings

then that's on a run

But sure believe in

Lifting weights

I wear normal clothes

But don't drink or smoke

An I am Not sure if I have

Told a bad joke

Cause I am just an

Ordinary bloke

I tear and quake

I suffer heartbreaks

Stress and tire

But I ain't a cheat or liar

I am not afraid of hard work 

But at times I'll take the shortcut 

But I'll never ever give up

Cause I ain't no quitter 

I am no man of steel

Just a man with a rod...

In his name

I am lover and fighter

Believe there's someone higher

I may not think straight 

But my hearts in the right place

I am definitely not

The sharpest tool in the shed

But still I'll try to be anyway

Definitely not a show off

But a kindhearted lug

I believe in giving and receiving 

Are part of a higher plan

Just as our destiny

I am definitely no Superman 

But I am sure am the best
