Men, we don't need you to be a knight in shining armor. We just need you to be a little bit brave, just a little bit. And some of them are, and that's what he does.

Knight In Shining Armor
Where is my knight in shining armor?
Will he come to rescue me?
I've been pierced and wounded.
The scars you cannot see.
All of them are in my mind.
that surface every day.
They're frightening and they hurt so.
They just won't go away.
A white horse and pointed lance
and rider of strong heart
is what I need to free me
so my hurts can all depart.
Are you real? Do you exist
or are you the hero that didn't last?
Can you rescue this damsel
like you did the ones from the past?
I dream about you in the night.
You take my fears away.
I awaken in the morning light
and must face another day
of verbal abuse which tortures me
and I search in vain for you.
Where is my knight in shining armor?
He's nowhere in my view.

Not A Fairytale
You think my life's a fairy tale
As happy as can be
Knight in shining armor
Saves the damsel in distress
Dragon slain
If this is a fairy tale
My life is far from it
You're no knight in shining armor
The damsel can take care of herself
And there are more dragons than you realize
In forms of a stepdad, homelife, even you
Bet thats not what you were expecting
In this 'fairy tale'
The only way to save me
Is to slain ALL the dragons
But let me guess
You would never slain yourself
So much for a happy ending

I Know How To Love You Well
Its been a long time
Since we walked that aisle together
And you became my wife
And who wouldve thought
You would fall for someone just like me
For the best days of my life
I may not be a poet
Cause I aint so good on words
I may not stand before you
Like a knight in shining armor
I may not be the best of singers
Theres better guys Ive heard
But I know how to love
I know how to love you well
You got your faults
And I dont need to tell you Ive got mine
Well I guess they all even out
Wherever I ride
The thought of you turns water into wine
And somehow I lose a crowd
I may not drive a fancy car
I dont know what its for
I may not be the one
Who gets to shower you in diamonds
I may not be a rich man
But you cant call me poor
Cause I know how to love
I know how to love you well
As we skip the light fandango
From that old jukebox by the bar
Now honey, dont it make you wonder
How we ever got this far
I may not be a poet
Cause I aint got much to say
I may not stand before you
Like that knight in shining armor
I may not be the best of singers
Honey thats ok
Cause I know how to love
I know how to love
I know how to love
You well

Brave Little Soldier
Im a brave little soldier
I must be bold and strong
A brave little soldier
And I must carry on
Im a brave little soldier
A brave little soldier
Im a brave little soldier
I must fight, I must win
Im a brave little soldier
Through hell and back again
Im a brave little soldier
A brave little soldier
Per rum, pum, pum
Per rum, pum, pum
Per rum, pum, pum, pum, pum
Ye though I am marching through the valley filled with fear
My steps are sure and sturdy and my aim is straight and clear
The enemy is stalking me just waiting for the kill
Like david slewed galiath
I will claim this battle field
Im a brave little soldier
I must do what I can
Im a brave little soldier
And I must take a stand
Im a brave little soldier
A brave little soldier
Marching, marching onward
Searching out the light of truth
I did not start the war
But its a battle I cant lose
Faith will be my armor
And love my sword and shield
I must defeat the enemy
I will, I will, I will
A brave little soldier
I must be bold and strong
A brave little soldier
And I must carry on
A brave little soldier
A brave little soldier
Im a brave little soldier
A brave little soldier
Brave, little soldier

The Quest
Once upon a time a princess
was in distress
in a beautiful country
called Ireland
the handsome knight came
to impress
and to win the
princess hand
the knight set off
on the quest
to return the pot of gold at the
end of the rainbow
as the beautiful princess
had request
the brave knight was
eager to begin
everyone had faith in the knight
for he was the champion
this quest he was determined
to win
there were quite a few mean trolls
taking a stand
the whole kingdom was
in an uproar
they came from England to
take over the land
the knight set out on a
path of danger
flying overhead was a great dragon
keeping an eye on the unicorn
things couldn't get
much stranger
the knight met with the fairies
who came up with a plan
to buy the magic wand from the
leprechaun if he can
in an instant the rainbow
did appear
the brave knight returned the pot of
gold to his princess
and everyone in the kingdom
gave a great cheer

Emily
Now Emily hides in a way
she is waiting for a
knight in shining armor
and I know that nothing I'd say
could make her see me
as a man of honor
but I am
now sometimes I wish she could see through
all the rain and clouds that fill her sky
and know that tomorrow brings with wings
of bird a song to fill her mind
and I am
oh yes I am
[Chorus:]
the one who can sing
all of the dreams
the one who can make them all come true
if she would believe
I'm down on my knees
but in my hands I hold
Now Emily stands at the door
a picture lies in pieces on the floor
the one where we walked on the beach
the wind blew waves
that crashed upon the shore
oh we are
forever more
[Chorus:]
the one who can sing
all of our dreams
the one who can make them all come true
if she would believe
I'm down on my knees
but in my hands I hold
everything that she wants
everything that should be
as far as her
big blue eyes could see
if she would believe
I'm down on my knees
but in my hands I hold
what do you want me to do
my head in my hands
I wait for the words
to come and make you understand
so tell me I'm right
tell me I touched you down
so deep inside
Now Emily hides in a way
she is waiting for a
knight in shining armor
and I know that nothing I'd say
can make her see me
as a man of honor
[Chorus:]
I'm the one who can sing
all of our dreams
the one who can make them all come true
if she would believe
I'm down on my knees
but in my hands I hold
everything that she wants
everything that should be
as far as her
big blue eyes could see
if she would believe
I'm down on my knees
but in my hands I hold
in my hands I hold
the ring

I Am Your Don Quixote
I am your Don Quixote
But there is no armor for this heart
No protection from your eyes
There is no armor for this heart
Vulnerable I battle with your smile
There is no armor for this heart
From your beauty I cannot hide
There is no armor for this heart
Exposed I am tangled in only lies
There is no armor for this heart
Empty as every windmill that I find
There is no armor for this heart
I lay awake with open eyes

Umbilical Cord
It was a beautiful night;
The moon in perfect symmetry;
Bare naked;
With the craters smiling;
In a rabbit's shadow;
As if to waken the spirits;
Of a lonely figure;
Crouched in to a corner;
where two crumbling walls meet the dust-laden floor boards;
Stark naked, except for the erect follicles;
That danced in the serene wind;
She had waltzed back to her umbilical cord;
To the protection of the uterine walls.
She knew she had seen the last of her prince;
Who initially strolled in, in shining armor,
But wandered off to glorious pastures;
Leaving her in the doldrums, of seasons of loneliness,
Spring leading to summer and autumn to winter
Every night crouching in to her dead mother's protection;
Slumping in to routines of insanity;
Waiting for a helping hand from somewhere;
To resurrect her, to stand up once again on her own two feet.
Then the moon hides behind a cloud;
As the tears flow incessantly from the crumbling lacrimals;
The lap a dripping pool of cleansing water;
As if to clean the cobwebs between her thighs;
As she lies there yielding to her insecurity and insanity.
Then all of a sudden, the door is crashed open;
As a figure in a cape runs towards her;
She smiles in her haze, with a flow of joyous tears.........
Could this be.......? Is he the one......?
Then from behind the shadows he walks in;
A knight in a blue shirt and a black trouser;
No armor, but with arms of steel;
That carried her outside in a shrouding cloth.
Waiting outside was a van with pulsating red lights; .
And behind the shadow of the flashing van;
There was a familiar knight.........
In something that appeared to be a lot like shining armor.

No Knight Am I
With any giving of reason,
Just to get to see you pleased.
There are some strict restrictions,
I must uphold to leave.
No knight am I,
To wear any armor.
Or will I sustain,
Dramatized headaches to cause me pain.
I want to be here,
To just be with you.
With a promise not to leave,
When your tears fall like the pouring rain.
I...
Am real!
And not...
A fantasy.
I...
Believe,
We can be happy.
If together you want to be with me.
No knight am I,
To wear any armor.
Or will I sustain,
Dramatized headaches to cause me pain.
I want to be here,
To just be with you.
With a promise not to leave,
When your tears fall like the pouring rain.
I...
Am real!
And not...
A fantasy.
I...
Believe,
We can be happy.
If together you want to be with me.
But...
With any giving of reason,
Just to get to see you pleased.
There are some strict restrictions,
I must uphold to leave.
Because I...
Am real!
And not...
A fantasy.
And I...
Believe,
We can be happy.
If together you want to be with me.
I...
Am real,
And not a fantasy.
No knight am I in armor.
To gallop in your dreams.
I am someone real.
Who loves you as it seems.
No knight am I in armor.
To gallop in your dreams.
I am someone real.
Who loves you as it seems.
And I...
Believe,
We can be happy.
If together you want to be with me.
If together you want to be with me.
If together you want to be with me.
If together you want to be with me.

The Magic Is Working
Chorus:
The magic is working, Im falling in love
The magic is working, Im falling in love
The magic is working, Im falling in love
You were sent from heaven above
All of my life
I hoped to find someone like you
So sweet and so kind
Never thought Id love again
Thought my life had come to an end
And out of the blue
There you were filling my heart
You captured me and
Stood there like a knight in shining armor
You changed my life (you changed my life)
Youre such a charmer
Repeat chorus
(you must have stepped out of magic)
Stepped right of out of my dream
Shoot through my life with everything
Never have I felt so strong desire
When Im with you, I can feel the fire
Ive never been in love like this
Fireworks in every kiss
Feels so good, I feel alive
My heart and soul, have been revived
Repeat chorus
You stood like a knight in shining armor
You changed my life
You changed my life
Youre such a charmer
(I want you to know)
Repeat chorus
The magic is working, baby
I feel so good about your lovin, baby
I feel so good about your lovin, baby

New Heaven
Paradise now has many a Knight,
Many a lordkin, many lords,
Glimmer of armor, dinted and bright,
The young Knights have put on new swords.
Some have barely down on the lip,
Smiling yet from the new-won spurs,
Their wounds are rubies, glowing and deep,
Their scars amethyst-glorious scars.
Michael’s army hath many new men,
Gravest Knights that may sit in stall
Kings and Captains, a shining train,
But the little young Knights are dearest of all.
Paradise now is the soldiers land
Their own country its shining sod,
Comrades all in a merry band;
And the young Knights’ Laughter pleaseth God.

Hush Little Baby (Part 1)
I said yes rather than no
I'll take this as a test, to prove
whether or not I am and if not
that I can be a man,
the man that he wasn't
or could ever be.
I won't make the same mistakes
I won't make selfish claims
no excuses will I gather,
to make a plea of insanity
just to ensure an escape route
Out of this reality
although I'm not ready, I will be.
Although I'm still one myself,
I will grow in time, a knight
in shining armor
Yes, a plant, of a surprised seed
I hope I'm ready

Waiting
For a knight in armor shining
For a dream to start growing
For Peace to stop hiding
For a wave to begin surfing
Ride it
Get lost in the moment
Believe in no tommorow
Stop worrying, no sorrow
Until you stop at the shore
Laughing
At the man who is smitten
At the dream flying
At the children playing
At the wave smashing

The Lady, And Her Knight In Shining Armor
It is a fairy tale come, oh so very True-
Your Knight in Shining Armor, came straight to you,
Though even he needed lots of Intervention, Divine,
So that the two most Amazing personages, could finally combine
Themselves in a Consortium that was Predetermined, before their birth;
Heavenly Father decided this Day long before there was even an Earth;
We-you, the Lady, and I, the Knight,
Had been decided by God Himself, as so very Right
That no manner of obstacle, whether time or space,
Could come betwixt us, nor cause to efface
The Eternal Love that we two do now, and shall always, share;
THIS very moment, THIS very place was what He would dare
That we embrace, as a sign of our Faith in both each, and Him-
Now the Light of His Truth, shines brightly, where ere, the dim
Pallor of just over a fortnight ago, the Devil himself, caused you doubt-
And we together, caused that forever and always, it should be cast out!
OUR Path has been PROVEN by the Lord of Lords, and no other One-
Come with me, MY Beloved, and walk hand in hand, with the setting Sun!

Traffic Light
I was guessing what it feels like
To have a girl that wants me
Say exactly what she feels like
So that I could see
[Chorus:]
This traffic light I'm stopped at
Tells me when to go
With all of these mixed signals
I am feeling overthrown
You say you want to take a rest
Just a little break
That would be okay with me
If my heart wasn't at the stake
[Chorus]
How will I ever conquer this mountain
Without you with me by my side
How will I ever find the right time
To pull you close and make you mine
[Chorus]
You wanted me to be flawless
Your knight in shining armor
My suits a little dirty
And this disease I can't cure

Ben Is A Knight For A Day
Full of energy and surprise
Ben had sparkles in his eyes.
He would be a knight for a day
slaying all of Razel's ice dragons totally away.
Ben is shining knight with a sword
he was great actor, never bored.
Hidden treasures of sparkly gold-
is what Ben has to find—he's been told.
For when jewels are found—
Sarah his sister can be crowned.
But only if her ice spell is broken
Ben has to find gold metallic token.
This token has the magical vibes—
-to break any ice spell given-
in Ferronian forest where fairies hide.
Ben must find Dreeka the dragon
-on his map-
he has to hurry up—
-take nothing for chance.
Ben finds Dreeka dragon in her cave
she gives Ben magical metallic token
which can totally save—
Save Sarah from a frozen plight-
Ben must unfreeze Sarah before it's night.
Now Ben of course does succeed—
he will win victory and take the lead…
Lead as the knight with the shiny
Gold metal armor-
He is knighted king now and is honored.

I'm Her Man (Love Ballad) :
She saw me standing there.
Like a knight in shining armor.
Like standing in cool fresh water.
I'm her man..
After all that we've been through.
I know that I was made for her.
I know her love was made for me.
And we were like two lost lovers.
I'm her man..
Then she saw me standing there.
Like a peasant without a sword.
Like a king without a castle.
She wrapped her arms around me.
I'm her man....

Bed Of Roses
You're that one special woman
I thought I'd never find
With the stream to be gentle
And the courage to be kind
Though it hasn't all been roses
Still I know you understand
One of these nights
When we're sharing a dream
I'm gonna take you by the hand
And lay you down on a bed of roses
In tha peaceful shelter
Only love can provide
I'll let you down on a bed of roses
And then I'll lay me down
Right by your side.
There's no diamond on your finger
Just a simple wedding bend
Since your knight in shining armor
Is just an ordinary man.
Though I promised you a kingdom
And we don't have all we planned
One of these nights
When we're making believe
I'm gonna take you by the hand
