This is the song that I think best represents Merlin. It's called Superman, by Five for Fighting if you want to look it up on YouTube. I put Merlin's commentary in it. It's meant to be a bit funny, but Merlin's life is just so depressing, it has to have some misery.

I don't own the song.

Song in bold, Merlin's thoughts in normal, parenthesis are not Authors' Notes, they are Merlin's words.

I can't stand to fly

Flying is for insane people, try walking, much more normal and Camelot acceptable.

I'm not that naïve

I don't care what Arthur says, I'm not naïve!

I'm just out to find

The better part of me

I need proof that I'm not a monster.

I'm more than a bird; I'm more than a plane

Erm, what's a plane? Anyway, I'm way more than a Merlin (I mean the bird, not my name).

I'm more than some pretty face beside a train

I don't know what a train is either, but I am more than just a pretty face. I have brains you know, I'm not an idiot, no matter what Arthur calls me.

And it's not easy to be me

More like super mega impossible

I wish that I could cry

According to Arthur, crying is for babies and girls, not men.

Fall upon my knees

I will eventually collapse

Find a way to lie

I need to learn how to lie better, note to self: have Arthur teach me. He seems to be the only one able to successfully lie.

'Bout a home I'll never see

I never fit in at Ealdor, so that isn't really my home, and I'm technically illegal in Camelot.

It may sound absurd but don't be naïve

I am not absurd! (Again, ignore Arthur)

Even heroes have the right to bleed

I bleed a lot. Especially when I get stabbed or beaten or shot or anything else that may happen while I save Arthur.

I may be disturbed but won't you concede

I am not disturbed! Ok, maybe a little. But only a little!

Even heroes have the right to dream?

I dream a lot. Usually it involves me waking up screaming, but still.

And it's not easy to be me.

I will eventually die a slow painful death, just because my luck is that bad.

Up up and away away from me

Hide! I may go insane from too many hits on the head by Arthur's random thrown objects and attack Camelot using my epic magic (or something, according to Uthur).

Well it's all right

For you it's all right, not for me.

You can all sleep sound tonight

Except Morgana, she has those nightmares that prevent sleep.

I'm not crazy or anything

Don't worry; I won't go all evil and start attacking Camelot. I put too much work into this stupid destiny to do that.

I can't stand to fly

If I did fly, Uthur would have my head

I'm not that naïve

Don't listen to the royal prat!

Men weren't meant to ride

With clouds between their knees

That might be why Uthur hates magic, it does the impossible. I'll ponder that and get back to you.

I'm only a man in a silly red sheet

It's a neckerchief! Not a sheet! It's not funny either!

Digging for kryptonite on this one way street

Eventually I will have my magic exposed.

Only a man in a funny red sheet

Don't call my precious a sheet! I will flay you alive using my amazing lighting powers! Oh, this might be what they meant when they said crazy.

Looking for special things, inside of me.

I need the real reason I have these powers, there must be more than the destiny thing.

Inside of me, inside of me, yeah

Inside of me, inside of me

Yes, we get it. It's inside. No need to repeat! The question is, where inside. I should ask Gaius where in the body magic is stored.

I'm only a man in a funny red sheet

No comment. I refuse to continue putting up with this insult to my fashion sense.

I'm only a man looking for a dream

That dream is my destiny.

I'm only a man in a funny red sheet

Grrrrrrrrrrr.

And it's not easy, it's not easy to be me

Shoot me now.

If you want me to do others for different characters, I will. Please review, even if it's to flame!
