Funny Red Sheet


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

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
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 ...(x2)

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

It’s not easy ... wu.. hoo.. hoo..
It’s not easy to be me...

That was a nice song - it's not easy to be anyone, really, if we put ourselves in anyone's shoes. And that's partly because that's what human beings have made of life -- a marketplace where everyone is making things difficult for someone else, in some way, no matter how minisculely; but just by their participation and perpetuation of the system, someone else ends up taking its brunt.
And I also know that I'm probably deviating from what you were trying to convey, but still,

I remember Broadus being upset about something and saying to him, "It's not easy being three, is it?"

And he looked at me and wailed, "It's not easy being ME!"

I laughed, and comforted him, but I could identify with the feeling. Easily. It is good to get back for a visit. Being too busy is a lame excuse but you know how it is. I'm glad to see you so productive. Whay do you take down the pics? I'll read more now.

love,
Rick
