And it's not easy to be me And it's not easy to be me I may be disturbed but won't you concede Up up and away away from me I'm not that naive I wish that I could cry I'm only a man looking for a dream And it's not easy, it's not easy to be me I'm more than a bird, I'm more than a plane ‘Bout a home I'll never see I'm more than some pretty face beside a train I can't stand to fly I'm not crazy or anything Find a way to lie Fall upon my knees Well it's all right The better part of me I can't stand to fly Only a man in a funny red sheet I'm only a man in a funny red sheet Inside of me, inside of me, yeah I'm only a man in a funny red sheet I'm not that naive I'm just out to find Inside of me, inside of me Even heroes have the right to bleed Looking for special things inside of me Publishers: EMI BLACKWOOD MUSIC INC., FIVE FOR FIGHTING MUSIC Digging for kryptonite on this one way street I'm only a man in a silly red sheet You can all sleep sound tonight Even heroes have the right to dream? It may sound absurd but don't be naive With clouds between their knees Men weren't meant to ride Songwriter: John Ondrasik
I feel a wave of emotion each time I hear the line "but it's all right, you can all sleep sound tonight". This song is so heartfelt and sad.

9/11 I heard it first on 9/11. 'breaks my heart into pieces everytime I hear it and remember our supermen running headlong TOWARDS disaster... to save lives.

I don't know what it is about this song, it always makes me cry. One day at work one of my co-workers was sitting at her desk crying just as hard as me at this song. Wow, what a powerful song!!

The first time I heard this song, I thought "jeez, this guy is so vain" but the more I listen to it, the more heart-wrench i n g it is. It's beautiful in a sad way and I just can't get enough.

If you have ever suffered from a "superman : complex and found that you just could not be perfect this song soothes and helps explain it to some people who have never felt the OVERdrive to be everything that people need....

This is such a beautiful song. It kind of depresses me though. I love it!!!!!

Shoot. If Superman had the bright idea of WEARING A MASK while on the job then it might be a little easier. Anyway I like this song very much too. This song came out at a time when America needed a reassuring voice.
