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
It's not easy to be me

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 conceed
Even heroes have the right to dream
It's not easy to be me

Up, up and away: away from me
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 kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me

It's not easy to be me.
