Being Me...

I've always loved this song - something in it I identify with (Heaven's knows it's not the superman part - I guess its the feeling lost and in a daze and feeling somedays how much it stinks being me...). So, I heard it today while in the car and couldn't resist blogging it. If you are a man, and a father especially, I think you can relate just a little...

Superman
by 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
Inside of me Inside me
Yeah, inside me Inside of me

I’m only a man In a funny red sheet
I’m only a man Looking for a dream

I’m only a man In a funny red sheet
And it’s not easy, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm...
It’s not easy to be me
