lyrics

Flash your smile at the door, show excitement and delight!
Box office premier, bring the family for a good time.
See the tale of a Black Masked figure, lone in the night, slashing a "Z" in hopes that you'll catch a few tonight in safety.


Front row sits a boy, bright eyed and loved. With hopes and dreams, and folks who beam over him. (He was their riches.)
With every flick of the blade the boy's smile widens.
Oh, to be a hero is a lonely hope and dream.

Fly home.
Hold onto the moment like the loving hands you held back then.
It's almost as if they were still yours to hold.
When fear becomes you remember what your father said before-

The cowardice shots echo against the walls of his memory.
They pale in comparison to the bravery of the blade. And paler still, the faces long lost behind the sobs of a boy who never needed more than to hear the word, "son."

Fly home.
Hold onto the moment like the loving hands you held back then.
Hold onto the memories of their smiles... the only pearls you ever valued.

They used to tuck in the blanket of Knightfall draped across his shoulders and kiss his cheek. Let him dream of adventure and wake to their eyes. But when trembling tears fall in the wake of a storm, it's the words of a father that make an orphan a hero.

Micah Kimber, Mustache Poetry Richmond, Virginia

My heart is to Love and connect with others by sharing art.
We're each valuable individuals, made in God's image, with art worth sharing.
If you create, share. If you aren't creating, scared of how it'll turn out or how others will respond, I understand. But art is self expression. It's for YOU first. If it's real, you'll want to be heard and someone will hear.
If anything, share it with me. ... more
