Five for Fighting - Superman

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, and 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
It may sound obsurd, but don't be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed, but wont you conceive
Even heroes have the right to dream, and it's not easy to be me.

Up ahead, away away from me
Well it's all right, you can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy, or anything.

I can't stand to fly, I'm not that naive
Men weren't meant to ride with clouds between their knees
I'm only a man in a silly red sheet, digging for Kriptonite on this one way street
Only a man on this one way street looking for special things inside of me.

I'm only a man looking for a dream
I'm only a man in a funny red sheet, and it's not easy..
It's not easy to be... me.
