Superman (It's Not Easy)

by Catman Cohen

on How I Want to Live -- The Catman Chronicles 2 (2005)

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
More than a plane
I'm more than some weary face beside a train
And it's not easy to be me

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, away from me
Well, well 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 funny red sheet
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
Special things inside of me

I'm only a man in a funny red sheet
I'm only a man
Looking for his lost dream
I'm only a man
Trying to help those in need
I'm only a man
Looking for his lost dream

And it's not easy to be me
