Aren't most romance heros, or heros in fiction of any kind, generally superior to real men? Same goes for heroines and real women.

The Unfair Modern World
The best of talents aren't always the first!
The skilled can't always climb up to the top;
The laboring classes don't get paid toil's worth;
The lucky few awarded aren't the best!
World's top celebrities are vainglorious;
The beauty queens who win are not the best;
Many are heros, heroines unsung;
This world's unfair to most deserving few!
Besides true skills, pluck matters in all games;
Who wins each time depends on changing rules;
All is not fair in sports and earthly tests;
Only a few do truly reach the top!

Dismissed as Misfits
It all began as pure myth.
These psychological ploys,
Too real to decipher...
Yet meanders unanswered,
Until they stop!
Or trail away...
Left to drift!
Sit they do as a teapot brewing...
Boiling mists until someone removes it!
Determined to whip up traditions flavored,
And savored with each sip!
Lip service does not quench,
An undying thirst for more.
Ancestors are not certified,
Or relied upon to explore.
The pouring of it satisfies,
The creation of heros adored.
As those real who were truly the heros then,
Are dismissed as misfits to ignore!
Anthropologists are dispatched...
To search under rocks by bits!
Old ruins are disturbed for clues,
For any truth awaiting that sits.
And persistent are those
Insisting more symbols unfounded be made.
Relying on myths of 'shady' existences...
Regardless of artifacts discovered,
To recover minds illusioned...
Deluded and totally crazed!

Hero
Looking for salvation, Im blind.
Thought contamination, I find.
Greedy spiders talk to me in my head.
I think Im drifting.
Im in the big machine. my next heros calling.
Who knows what he may bring to me?
Government intrusion, again.
Cultural illusion, offends.
Grain of sand in traffic jam, and Im late.
I think Im drifting.
Im in the big machine. my next heros calling.
Who knows what she may bring to me?
See the demons all around and sometimes
I feel like one of them. feel the rage is building inside,
I walk to the final edge, Im dreaming...
Im in the big machine. my next heros calling.
Who knows what he may bring to me?

Real Men...
real men...
dont threaten.
real men dont lie.
real men dont take
at the expense of others.
real men dont quit.
real men dont make excuses.
real men dont follow blindly.
real men dont abuse women.
real men are good fathers.
real men live by respect.
real men dont seek violence,
but dont back down.
real men get involved.
real men face their fears,
and their failures.
real men own their mistakes.
real men dont judge.
real men pray with the same hands
they wipe their buts with,
and know it!
real men forgive.
real men love at all costs.
real men stand for what they believe...
what the world needs now
is real men... (and women) !

To Those Who Profess The Right To Ignore
If providing military service is so honorable,
Why are there so many veterans homeless?
Why are the bulk of them unemployed?
Why aren't these men and women given preferences?
And why have many of our 'heros' become annoyed?
Especially after proving a patriotic loyalty...
To those who profess the right to ignore,
Our soldiers plight to fight blight on their own shores.

The Safest Place
Thank God that you were by my side..
On a night....
On a night...
Daytime Im fine
Everything is back normal
Last night I thought that I would die
I had nightmares, I was so scared
Thank God that you were by my side
To hold me when I cried
I wanna be strong
But I dont wanna be alone tonight
I wanna believe that I can save the world
And make it right
But I believe that youve got a heros face
Right here in your arms is safest place
The safest place
It feels so real
You showed I could trust you
With emotions I had locked away
It was your touch, your words
They hear deepest part of me
That only you can see
I wanna be strong
But I dont wanna be alone tonight
I wanna believe that I can save the world
And make it right
But I believe that youve got a heros face
Right here in your arms is safest place
As long as Im with you
As long as I can feel you
Thats all I need to keep me going
On and on and on and on....
I wanna believe that I can save the world
And make it right
But I believe that youve got a heros face
Right here in your arms is safest place
Right here in your arms is safest place....
The safest place...
The safest place...

Blaze Of Glory
Let's go out in a blaze of glory
All good things must end
Like two heros in a story
Lets go out like we came in
In a blaze of glory
Here we are broken-hearted
We thought our love would never end
We fell hard when we got started
Fallin' out like we fell in
Let's go out in a blaze of glory
All good things must end
Like two heros in a story
Lets go out like we came in
In a blaze of glory
Let's gonna hurt each other
That would be a worse mistake
Once again lets act like lovers
One more time for old-time's sake
Let's go out in a blaze of glory
All good things must end
Like two heros in a story
lets go out like we came in
in a blaze of glory
let's go out (lets go out)
in a blaze of glory (in a blaze of glory)
all good things must end
like two heros (ah) in a story (in a story.)
lets go out (lets go out) like we came in (like we came in)
in a blaze of glory

Hero's Return
In a time of fear and confusion,
silence charging the air
The sunlight is gone, darkness lives on
in the heart of the dragons lair
Lost in a world of illusions
No trace of the missing ore
Stealing our souls, were out of control,
knocking at deaths door
All our beliefs fading into ashes
Heed the words that we pray
For a Heros Return our hearts still yearn
Rise and conquer, let the infidels burn
Now we charge, the battle is raging,
blood runs everywhere
Our anger is fierce, avenging the years
No time for a final prayer
Behold, the might of the hammer,
elliptical bolts of fire
Theres nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Youre down to the wire
Somewhere out there lies a new tomorrow
for me and those who believe
For a Heros Return our hearts still yearn
Rise and conquer, let the infidels burn
For a Heros Return our hearts still yearn
Rise and conquer, let the infidels burn
Oooh
Now, Ive returned from a place far beyond
My mission I set, let it be done
We still belive in a brighter future
The dreams are ours to fulfil
For a Heros Return.

Hero
I cant believe that it was good for anyone, to me worth the wait
I doubt that anybody got their moneys worth
But the attention sure felt great
With all eyes upon me, some filled with tears, some couldnt see
It burned like a cancer when the answer did occur to me
Creep from the cradle, but a heros what I wanna be
Keep it moving people cause theres nothing more for you to see
Im just a jerk, but a heros what I wanna be yeah, oh yeah
Love me, love me sweet cowardice
Now that the thrill is mine for the moment
We really didnt need another suicide
Or a song explaining why, but its not dignified
But I cant seem to kiss it goodbye
It burned like a cancer...
Keep it moving people...
It burned ...
Keep it.....
Erase this disaster even faster than you came to see
A creep from the cradle and a hero driven wanna be
For your abuse, but not intended for internal use
Im just a jerk , but a heros what I wanna be

Real Fiction
There are two kinds of fiction to find…
One in the world and the other in the mind.
When unpleasant things happen for real
With which the real mind is unable to deal,
It creates a world of fiction so it can survive
In order to justify that its unreal beliefs are alive.
These unreal beliefs have a real world all alone
As they deny real facts with data of their own.
Their fiction continues as world events transpire
With interpretation to support beliefs they require.
The world of fiction will collide with the world of real
As its members seek reality, it will lose its appeal.
Unless it dispenses with its delusions of the facts,
It will disappear as it's devoured by the reality it lacks.

Turning Around
By: jimmy buffett
Sometimes I feel like a propeller
Spin spin out of control
I dont know whos up on the throttle
Oh I wish theyd let it go.
All I ever do is get dizzy
Thinkin thinkin things left undone
Been stuck here so long now Im zero
Id just like to make it to one
Chorus:
Turnin around
Heros and clown(s)
Holdin my ground
Oh Ive been down
Im turnin around
Turnin around
Lost til were found
Holdin our ground
Oh Ive been down
Im turnin around
Sometimes I get lost in daydreamin
Sleep sleep my life away
I know in my heart Im a sailor
And my ship is on the way
There never is an end to believers
Lookin lookin for the right sign
If everything will just keep on turnin
All that I want will be mine.
Chorus:
Turning around
Heros and clown(s)
Holdin my ground
Oh Ive been down
Im turnin around
Turnin around
Lost til were found
Holdin our ground
Oh Ive been down
Im turninaround
Bridge:
(nice steel drum lick)
Chorus:
Turnin around
Heros and clowns
Holdin my ground
Oh Ive been down
Im turnin around
Turnin around
Lost til were found

Be real with me
Be real with me
Who will be real with me
She is a false pretender
Says she can't remember
The things we did together
Such a big lire
She can't be real with me
Be real with me
My life is more than my age
So you cant put me in a cage
Being stronger and richer
Do not means i am smaller
Cherish love than power
For love is
Superior and greater
Although i am poor
But you can
Help me live better
Do not make me inferior
Be real with me
For that is forever

Midnight In The Park
Real life may not be a whirlwind romance.
Real life may not be running off to a hidden cabin.
Real life may not be a Cinderella fairy tail.
For me real life may not be for very long at all.
For me a kiss in the moonlight is truly magical.
I can live an entire lifetime of romance in one evening.
For a few brief hours I can be content in real life.
For a few brief hours, real life is holding hands
at midnight walking in a park.
Then we part ways again, but we had midnight in the park.

Awards For Greatness
Not all can get awards though deserving;
Some luck and pluck too decides awardees;
The heart knows if he/she truly deserves;
The rest remain unsung all life on earth!
Awards on earth are not the ultimate;
The greatest feats are forgotten by men;
The greatest men, women are things of past;
Achievers who get lime-light aren't greatest!
All things on earth return to dust with time;
Most famous monuments become rubble;
Even rivers do change their course often;
Nothing is permanent in earthly life!
The luckiest deserving get awards;
The less lucky can't make up to life's peak;
The unlucky forget what awards mean;
A toiling few cannot think of such things!
Yet, human toil must get recognition;
Awards, rewards encourage achievements;
A few are born with silver-spoon in mouth;
The rest great slip into oblivion!
Yet, hopelessness need not fill any mind;
A few are heros/heroines on earth;
A few are great on earth and in heaven;
A few turn greatest only in heaven!

He’s Mine
No one asked if you cared
So you can care or not care all you want
Cuase I’m enjoying being his pretty sweet thing
I’m not in line and I don’t have to wait
I’m the first priority and the one who brings in the bait
It’s kind of cute how you rhymed all
Of your jealous call
He doesn’t have to fool
No body but your childish ways
He may be the man with all the words in your lonely corn maze
But he is my man
A real woman, girl please, I am and always will be
Yes I may be young
but age is just a number
A real women is shown on what she gives to her family
Her education
And her LOVER
That is up to him to decide if she is worth enough
A real women is everything a man is not
That is why silly poets say women complete men
Heck if I’m not a real woman then
What is such a amazing man doing with me
Because he’s mine

Real Love
All my little plans and schemes
Lost like some forgotten dream
Seems that all I really was doing
Was waiting for you
Just like little girls and boys
Playing with their little toys
Seems like all we really were doing
Was waiting for love
Only to be alone
Only to be alone
Its real love, its real, yes its real love, its real
From this moment on I know
Exactly where my life will go
Seems that all I really was doing
Was waiting for love
Only to be afraid
Only to be afraid
Its real love, its real, yes its real love, its real
Though Ive been in love before
But in my heart I wanted more
Seems like all I really was doing
Was waiting for you
Only to be alone
Only to be alone
Its real love, its real, its real love, its real
Yes its real love, its real, its real love, its real,
Yes its real love, its real, its real love, its real,
Yes its real love, its real, its real love, its real,
Yes its real love, its real

Keep It On The Real
No no,
Tell me, tell me.
Keep it on the real,
(the real, the real, the real, the real, the real, the real, the real).
Verse one (kandi):
Trust is something that we cant live without,
Honesty must be there, aint got no room for no doubt.
Reality cant waste no more of our precious time,
Trying to escape the pressures of our mind.
Chorus:
I dont ask for much, no no,
Baby if you want me you gotta tell me something, yeah.
All I want from you is just to keep it comin,
Keep it on the real.
(the real, the real, the real, the real, the real, the real, the real)
Verse two (kandi):
Faithfully Ill give my loving to you,
Soulfully our spirits will make it through.
Respect me baby and Ill respect you,
What more can two lovers do?
