Hive Open Mic 109 / Superman Cover

Yay for another week and another chance to share music at hive open mic community, for which I am immensely thankful. Since the theme this week is paper kites, I chose the song "Superman" by Five for Fighting, as Superman, like paper kites, can fly high in the sky and tumble as well. This song, in my opinion, is not only for men, but for everybody who tries to live up to others' higher expectations than their own. Someone who believes that the others expect too much of them and who loses themselves in the process of trying to please everyone.

Song Title: Superman
By: Five For Fighting

Lyrics

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
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 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 of me
Yeah, 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, ooh, ooh, ooh
It's not easy to be me

I hope you loved my cover and that you sang along with it.

Have a great day, everyone!

😊😍
