Superman

Five for Fighting - Superman
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 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

It’s not easy to be me.


Look. I'm not some intellectual student. I'm not some guy who knows the answers all the time. I'm not that strong.

I gotta keep it all inside, hide it all, deal with things myself cause they think I'm like some kinda Superman. And Superman can't crack, because by definition, Superman doesn't crack. He's supposed to save himself after all.

But then, people forget. Clark Kent's human. Me too. You too.

And I'm not even Superman.

Hi, I've dropped by and read your blog... Don't be pressured by others who would like you to be their superman. Everyone has his own strengths and weaknesses. If you think you can't do something, either seek help or just face it and respond accordingly to situation. Take care, gono. Learn to take things easy and life will be happier. =)
