"If we can dream it, we can do
it."
--
Walt Disney |
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. 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. It’s not easy to be me
Up, up and away… away from me. It’s all right. You can all sleep
sound tonight I’m not crazy…or anything…

Five for Fighting's Superman (It's Not Easy) |
|
"We all try to be supermen in our
jobs, everybody's aspiring to be Superman, but sometimes that's
very hard, very disappointing, and we tend to lose the humanity in
ourselves. The song 'Superman' is looking down inside yourself and
trying to touch what you have."

"Bypass surgery -- it's

"The
reason we were attacked, the reason these people are dead, these
people are missing and dead ... They weren't doing anything wrong,
they were living their lives, they were going to work, they were
traveling, they were doing what they normally do. Uh, as I
understand it -- and my understanding of this is vague, at best --
another smaller group of people stole some airplanes and crashed
them into buildings. And we're told that they were zealots fueled
by religious fervor. Religious fervor. And if you live to be a
thousand years old, will that make any sense to you?

classics; they invented them."
