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



I 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

And it's not easy to be me



Up, up and 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

Digging for kryptonite on this one way street

I'm only a man in a phoney red sheet

Looking for special things inside of me, inside of me

Inside of me, yeah inside of me, inside of me



I'm only a man in a phoney red sheet

I'm only a man looking for a dream

I'm only a man in a phoney red sheet

And it's not easy…

It's not easy to be me
