What Is Our Life!

(By Sir Walter Raleigh)
What is our life? The play of passion
Our mirth? The music of division,
Our mothers' wombs the tiring-houses be,
Where we are dressed for life's short comedy,
The earth the stage: Heaven the spectator is,
Who sits and views whosoe'er doth act amiss.
The graves which hide us from the scorching sun
Are like drawn curtains when the play is done
Thus playing post we to our latest rest,
And then we die in earnest, not in jest,

Superman
(By Five For Fighting)
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find
The better part of me
I'm more than a bird?
I'm more than a plane
I'm more than some pretty face beside a train
It's not easy to be me
I wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I'll never see
