| 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 and 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 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,))) 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 It's not easy to be me... |

| It takes alot of heroes working together to put out the fires, care for the wounded, comfort the grieving, and rebuild the broken. At the end of the day, at the end of the night--even at the end of a double shift, each hero goes back to his or her personal life. Can we ever thank them enough??? |
