Superman: by Five For Fighting
I cant 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
It's not easy to be me
Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home Ill never see
It may sound absurd...but dont be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed...but wont you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
Its not easy to be me
Up, up and away...away from me
Its all right...you can all sleep sound tonight
Im not crazy...or anything...
I cant 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 me
Yeah, inside me
Inside of me
I'm only a man
In a funny red sheet
Im only a man
Looking for a dream
I'm only a man
In a funny red sheet
And its not easy, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm...
Its not easy to be me

Ah, Paige... you nailed this one. I am listening to SUPERMAN as I sing along with your nicely posted lyrics. I love this song, and your illustration is so perfect for the music. Is that you walking away from our sore superhero?
