Letra de
Superman Its Not Easy

La canción Superman (Its Not Easy), escrita por John Ondrasik, quien actúa bajo el nombre de Five for Fighting, reflexiona sobre la vulnerabilidad y los desafíos que enfrentan las personas vistas como héroes, utilizando a Superman como metáfora. Lanzada poco después de los ataques del 11 de septiembre de 2001 en los Estados Unidos, adquirió un significado especial como una canción de consuelo para el país en ese momento difícil.

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
I'm more than some pretty face beside a train
It's not easy to be me

I 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 from me
Well, 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 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 of me
Inside of 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
It's not easy ooh hoo hoo

It's not easy to be me
