It's Not Easy To Be Me - Five For Fighting

I can't stand to fly – I am not that naive
I am just out to find - the better part of me

I am more than a bird.- I am more than a plane
more than some pretty face beside a train
it's not easy to be me

I 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 am not crazy or anything

I can't stand to fly - I am not that naive
men weren't meant to ride - with clouds between their knees

I am 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

I am only a man in a funny red sheet
I am only a man – looking for a dream
I am only a man in a funny red sheet
and it's not easy to be me.
It’s not easy to be me
