Five For Fighting - Superman (It’s Not Easy)
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
More than some pretty face beside a train
And it’s not easy to be meI wish that I could cry, fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie about a home I’ll never see
It may sound absurd, but don’t be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed, but won’t you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
And it’s not easy to be meUp, up and away, away from me
Well, it’s all right, you can all sleep sound tonight
I’m not crazy or anythingI 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 kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
Inside of me, inside of me
Yeah, inside of me, inside of meI’m only a man in a funny red sheet
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
I love it, okay? And I love Clark Kent and his Superman mystique.
