Introductory Remarks by Sheila Jordan - Sheila Jordan

I see you sitting in the corner of the classroom — alone

Your head is down writing your feelings

Of how you wish you were gone

You feel like you’ve got no one

Like you’re just a waste of space

All your problems weigh a tonne

Maybe tonight’s the night you trace

Your veins 'cause you think that there’s no other option — but out

I wish that could say the things locked up inside

Then soon enough our hearts will finally collide

Cause you

Are the best thing that’s happened to me

And you

Are the reason I’m holding on with every ounce I have

We could be each other’s super heroes

Then maybe all the smiles we give would be for real

Cause the anxiety and the over thinking

Would all be set aside

When — you’re — safe — in my arms

We’ll hold each other close

They wont take away our self-esteem

We’ll be unstoppable

A reality — no longer a dream

But the haters keep on talking

And your heart begins to race

All your problems weigh a tonne

Maybe tonight’s the night you trace

Your veins 'cause you think that there’s no other option — but out

I wish that could say the things locked up inside

Then soon enough our hearts will finally collide

Cause you

Are the best thing that’s happened to me

And you

Are the reason I’m holding on with every ounce I have

We could be each other’s super heroes

Then maybe all the smiles we give would be for real

Cause the anxiety and the over thinking

Would all be set aside

When — you’re — safe — in my arms

I will be your super hero
