Superhero
I’m no superhero
I can’t win them all
I am not bulletproof
I bleed when I fall
Let’s get this clear
I am unable to save you
As hard as I may try
That is something you must do
I am not the lucky one
I cannot regenerate
Some wounds never heal
I have an expiration date
I can’t change the past in anyway
Time is my ultimate foe
No one can escape
No, I am no superhero
No I’m no superhero
I don’t recover after every blow
No, I’m no superhero
There is much I need to know
I am no superhero
I have my highs and lows
No, I am no superhero
I am just your average Joe
I am no, no superhero
I don’t have a safe haven
I have no super powers
I die just like the next guy
Six feet under topped with flowers
I have no special origin
No secret identity
I am just plain old me
I open my front door with a key
What you see is what you get
My heart on my sleeve
No mask to hide behind
Hope to go forward never rewind
No I’m no superhero
I don’t recover after every blow
No, I’m no superhero
There is much I need to know
I am no superhero
I have my highs and lows
No, I am no superhero
I am just your average Joe
I am no, no superhero
The chances of you being a superhero, I don’t know
But, I’m no superhero, can’t you see
We can only aspire to set ourselves free
No I’m no super, no superhero
I have no special origin
No secret identity
I am just plain old me
I open my front door with a key
No, no mask to hide behind
No, I’m no super, no superhero
Lord, When I Reach the End
Lord, I need you now
Need you to show me how
Lord, I pray to you
To help me get through
Lord, you are always near
Rescue me from my fear
Lord, you have helped so much
You always do what is just
Lord, when I reach the end
In you I always have a friend
Lord, when I reach the end
My broken soul you will mend
Lord, when I reach the end
Your loving grace you will send
Lord, when I reach, when I reach the end
When I reach the end
Lord, you know all
When to help me when I fall
Lord, you are always everywhere
Sending help when I can no longer bear
Lord, you are loving and wise
And on the third day you did rise
Lord, you took away my sin
You are the beginning and the end
Lord, when I reach the end
In you I always have a friend
Lord, when I reach the end
My broken soul you will mend
Lord, when I reach the end
Your loving grace you will send
Lord, when I reach, when I reach the end
When I reach the end
Lord, when I reach my final resting place
I hope to get a loving embrace
Lord, when I reach my final resting place
Hope to see your loving face
Lord, when I reach my final resting place
I hope to live within your grace
Lord, when I reach the end
In you I always have a friend
Lord, when I reach the end
My broken soul you will mend
Lord, when I reach the end
Your loving grace you will send
Lord, when I reach, reach the end
When I reach the end
So Make It Pay
So tell me, how you spent your day
You can spend it in so many ways
Living straight up, or in a daze
This will all come to an end, so make, make it pay
Did you thwart a worldwide conspiracy?
Did you stop a global cataclysmic catastrophe?
Did you help an old lady cross the street?
Meet someone you were destine to meet
Did you find the cure to the common cold?
Or did you just get another day old
Did you write an award winning song?
Did you do nothing, nothing but wrong
So tell me how you spent your day
You can spend it in so many ways
Living straight up or in a daze
This will all come to an end, so make, make it pay
Did you just join the human race?
Well I’ll tell you, you need to pick up the pace
Did you just get evicted from your house?
You can come live with me and my mouse
Did you spend it in a drunken stupor?
Or was your day just super duper
Did your team just win the super bowl (go saints go)
Or did you just become twenty thousand dollars in the hole
So tell me how you spent your day
You can spend it in so many ways
Living straight up or in a daze
This will all come to an end, so make, make it pay
Were you working on the next big thing?
Did you give someone you love a diamond ring?
Did you spend your day all alone?
Or did you just move into your new family home
Did you receive a gift from Almighty God?
Or did you spend all day listening to your I-pod
Did your world as you know it come to an end?
Build the bridges; find your fences to mend
So tell me how you spent your day
You can spend it in so many ways
Living straight up or in a daze
This will all come to an end, so make, make it pay
So make it pay
So make it pay
So make it pay, so make, make it pay
Lyrics In Search Of Music
We’re all just lyrics in search of music
Searching for the perfect melody
Looking for that perfect rhyme
Add in some two part harmony
Trying to keep it all in perfect time
And there you have it, it’s you and me
When it’s not perfect it’s just a crime
Like a heart searching for loves first kiss
The day searching for the light
Like that searching for this
A princess searching for her knight
We’re all just lyrics in search of
In search of music
We’re all just lyrics in search of music
We’re the only one to sing our song
Looking for that special sound
One that keeps our heart beating strong
The one that keep love hanging round
In your song I hope is where I belong
Because your song it is so profound
Like a heart searching for loves first kiss
The day searching for the light
Like that searching for this
A princess searching for her knight
We’re all just lyrics in search of
In search of music
We’re all just lyrics in search of music
Searching for the perfect melody
Looking for that perfect rhyme
Add in some two part harmony
Trying to keep it all in perfect time
And there you have it, it’s you and me
When it’s not perfect it’s just a crime
Like a heart searching for loves first kiss
The day searching for the light
Like that searching for this
A princess searching for her knight
We’re all just lyrics in search of
In search of music
And there you have it, it’s you and me
When it’s not perfect it’s just a crime

About the Book
Volume 2
Aaron Jones began writing lyrical poetry in the late 1980s. He was inspired by his brother Eddie’s band to compose his poems in the form of songs. The title of this poetry collection, Lyrics in Search of Music , was inspired by the fact that Eddie could not write music to words already written.
Jones hopes that by offering up his collection, at least one of his poems will have life breathed into it—finally pairing his poetry with the right music. This is his fondest dream.
But Not If You Depart
You say you have no reason to live
But can you tell me why
Why, you think, you have no more to give
You have to give love to get love
That’s what I’m trying to tell you
That love you are undeniably worthy of
If you end it all now, it won’t hurt you at all
It will devastate all the hearts you’ve encountered
We’re the ones that get hurt after you fall
Listen, your heart is broken
Your feelings you’re cloaking
We can repair your heart
But not if you
But not if you
But not if you depart
