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

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

'bout 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 me

up

up and away

away from me

well

it's alright

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 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

i'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.
