A quote from "Superman" by Joe Brooks

There are no words, To paint a picture of you, girl
Your eyes, those curves, It's like you're from some other world
You walk my way, 
Oh God, it's so frustrating
So why do I disappear when you come near, It makes me feel so small
Why do I blow my lines Most every time, like I've got no chance at all


This song is about unspoken love.

*********************************************************************************************************************************

A quote from "These broken hands of mine" by Joe Brooks


Well, God knows you're barely standing
But you've got to carry this heavy load

One way at a time I'll try to lend these broken hands of mine
Give my strength, be my light
One way at a time the peace will grow and fill our empty souls
Give me strength, help me guide these broken hands of mine
Oh, these broken hands of mine


This song is about to keep helping others despite our limitations.
