"Superman (For Alon, The Hostages, And Their Families)"

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
