Story Behind The Song
If there's one thing I so good it's daydream, particularly about being a super hero. Not a guy with a cape and tights, but someone who helps the needy, downtrodden and victims of cruelty. Inspired by my frustration with simply daydreaming and not practicing my ideals, I realize that if I don't put into action my dreams, I am just 'entertaining myself with thoughts of being kind.'
Song Description
This is an anthem for those who daydream about being super heros. The verses articulate our dreams of making o difference and the chorus brings to life our frustration of not putting our ideals into action.
Upbeat shiny verses describe daydreaming about heroism. The crisp clean vocals of Trisha backed by a trebel charged rhythmic guitar entice the listener into the truth about themselves dreaming the same thing.
The chorus's cords cascade to the dismal thoughts of leaving noble acts of heroism locked in the mind, never manifesting into action.
The song ends with the crux of the song's motivation to bring our inner heros out of the closet and into action by repeating the crux of the chorus.

Lyrics
I entertain myself with thoughts of being kind.
A super human helper,
a beakon to mankind.
I entertain myself
with knowing what is wrong
and what is right.
I dream of the potential that I have
to inject the darkness
with a beam of light.
Chorus:
But what do I know
if I don't even go
and get my hands dirty,
just a little bit?
And what do I see
if I'm scared to be
known as a charity
for people like you and me,
people like you and me.
I entertain myself
with lack of hurting and abuse,
the certainty of a refuge,
the certainty of hands put to good use.
I entertain myself
with knowing of the painfulness of pride.
I dream of the resources that I have
to bring the beaten to the winning side.
(Chorus)
I entertain myself
with thoughts of being kind,
a super human helper,
a beakon to mankind.
I entertain myself
with knowing of the painfulness of pride.
I dream of the resources that I have
to bring the beaten to the winning side.
(Chorus)
