Superman

Am still having a hard time trying to dig deep within to be able to write something creative... unfortunately, I can't think of anything to write.

So here I am, sharing a song that expresses exactly how I felt then... and now....

SUPERMAN
Five For Fighting

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
inside of me,inside of me,inside of me
Only a man looking for her dream
It's not easy to be me

nothing

don't read this
it has nothing

nothing to say

don't read this
I told you that before

where's the zest?
where's the spirit?

dropped it somewhere I guess

I don't know
even too weary to care

nothing else to say
so please... don't read this
