Five For Fighting - "Superman"

Quem diria que a personagem da BD norte-americana, "Superman" seria tema para uma canção do grupo "Five for Fighting". Já a tinha ouvido, mas nunca me apercebera que o tema era o "homem de aço". Curiosa e metafórica. Para quem não sabe, o refugio deste filho de Krypton é a "Fortaleza da Solidão" e talvez estas personagens que acreditamos serem à prova de tudo, e que fazem os deleites da imaginação de muitos, também possam ter um lado sensível que as aproxime mais de todos nós.

"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 wont 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
And it’s not easy to be me…"
