In a different mood tonight, life sometimes weighs on us all, I guess that is sort of the point of the journey. What I dislike most though isn’t when I don’t feel right, it is when someone I love doesn’t. And that’s my spot tonight. It isn’t EVER easy being us. But, right now, it is hardest being him. So, tonight, for Evan, with all my love, I know its not easy being you right now, but you are a hero, my son, and you have the right to bleed sometimes. You have always been, since 10:16 pm on 7\/31\/74, Superman in my eyes, and you will always be, I am SO proud of the man you’ve become. The bleeding WILL stop and you’ll fly again, I promise. :^) dad<\/p>\n

It’s not that easy<\/a><\/p>\n

I can’t stand to fly, I’m not that naive
\nI’m just out to find the better part of me
\nI’m more than a bird, I’m more than a plane
\nI’m more than some pretty face beside a train,
\nand it’s not easy to be me<\/p>\n

I wish that I could cry, fall upon my knees
\nFind a way to lie about a home I’ll never see
\nIt may sound absurd, but don’t be naive
\nEven heroes have the right to bleed
\nI may be disturbed, but wont you conceive
\nEven heroes have the right to dream, and it’s
\nnot easy to be me<\/p>\n

Up ahead, away away from me
\nWell it’s all right, you can all sleep sound tonight
\nI’m not crazy, or anything<\/p>\n

I can’t stand to fly, I’m not that naive
\nMen weren’t meant to ride with clouds between their knees
\nI’m only a man in a silly red sheet, digging for
\nKryptonite on this one way street
\nOnly a man in a funny red sheet looking for
\nspecial things inside of me, inside of me, inside of me,
\ninside of me, inside of me<\/p>\n

I’m only a man in a funny red sheet
\nI’m only a man looking for a dream
\nI’m only a man in a funny red sheet, and
\nit’s not easy
\nIt’s not easy to be me<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
