I canât stand to fly
Iâm not that naive
Iâm just out to find
The better part of me
Iâm more than a bird
More than a plane
Iâm more than some weary face beside a train
And itâs not easy to be me
Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
'Bout a home Iâll never see
It may sound absurd
But donât be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed
But wonât you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
And itâs not easy to be me
Up up and away
Away, away from me
Well, well itâs all right
You can all sleep sound tonight
Iâm not crazy or anything
I canât stand to fly
Iâm not that naive
Men werenât meant to ride
With clouds between their knees
Iâm 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
Iâm only a man in a funny red sheet
Iâm 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 itâs not easy to be me
