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 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

And it's not easy to be me 



Up, up, and away, away from me

well 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
