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 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 concede 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

Inside of me Inside me Yeah, 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 Its not easy to be me
