AN: This is an adaptation of the song, Superman, by Five For Fighting, changed to represent Captain America. I do not own the song, nor Captain America, and this is purely a fan-made version of the song. I apologize for the numerous horizontal lines, however using them was the only way I could break up the stanzas of the song. (Additionally, in my opinion, it works better if you have the real version playing in the background while you read my lyrics, that way you can hear the appropriate breaks in the music). Enjoy :)
American Hero:
I can't stand to fight.
I'm not that naïve.
I'm just out to find
The better part of me.
I'm more than some kid.
This is more than a war.
I'm more than some pretty face to be fighting for.
And it's not easy to be me.
I wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a future I'll never see
It may sound absurd, but you don't know me.
Even heroes have the right to bleed.
It may take some time, but soon I'll be freed.
Even heroes have the right to grieve.
And it's not easy to be me.
Up ahead, love's far away from me.
But it's alright.
You'll finally sleep tonight.
And so will I, beneath the ice.
I can't stand to fight.
I'm not that naïve.
Men weren't meant to live
With fear inside their hearts.
I'm only a man with a silly red shield
Fighting for America in this battlefield
Only a man with a funny red shield.
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 with a funny red shield.
I'm only a man looking for a dance.
I'm only a man with a silly red shield.
But it's not easy.
It's not easy to be me.
