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 a pretty face beside a train.
And it's not easy to be me.

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.
It's not easy to be me.

Up, up an' 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
Diggin' for kryptonite on this one way street.
I'm only a man in a funny red sheet.
Lookin for special things inside of me.
Inside of me
Inside of me
Inside of me
Inside of me.

I'm only a man on a funny red sheet.
I"m only a man lookin' for a dream
I'm only a man on a funny red sheet
It's not easy to be me
(boo hoo hoo)

It's not easy to be me.
