This is for Alon, all the hostages, and their families May they be home soon 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 And it's not easy to be me Wish that I could cry Fall upon my knees Find a way to fly To a home I will soon see It may sound absurd, don't be naive Even heroes have the right to bleed I may be disturbed, won't you concede? Even heroes have the right to dream And it's not easy to be me Up, up, and away, away from me Now it's alright 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 Digging for kryptonite on this one-way street Only a man, a funny red sheet Lookin' for special things inside of me Inside of me Inside of me Inside of me Inside of me I'm only a man in a funny red sheet Only a man lookin' for a dream Only a man in a funny red sheet It's not easy It's not easy to be me
