Disclaimer I own nothing. Five For Fighting owns Superman. KAA and Scholastic own Animorphs. I own red fuzzy slippers that the dog chews up. Yay.

Author's Note: OK, I posted this, then went back and edited. I saved it in HTML cause I don't think the italics showed up when it was in .doc. If they don't now, I'll go put them in quotes. Forlay, I have them so that now, in the document, the lyrics are italicized.

Superman (It's Not Easy) Music Video

I can't stand to fly The video starts out with six birds of prey soaring on the wind, against a clear blue sky and fluffy white clouds


I'm not that naïve The largest one peels off and flies down into a neighborhood

I'm just out to find The bird swoops into a window


The better part of me And demorphs into Rachel

I'm more than a bird…I'm more than a plane She looks at herself in the mirror, staring herself in the eyes


More than some pretty face beside a train
It's not easy to be me The camera zooms into her eyes, is black for a moment, and then zooms out to the sparkling green eyes of Ax

Wish that I could cry Ax runs through the woods. It is now early evening, and a few stars are twinkling

Fall upon my knees He jumps over some high brush, but trips and lands awkwardly but unhurt

Find a way to lie He stands up

About a home I'll never see And looks toward the stars

It may sound absurd…but don't be naïve The camera focuses on the stars a minute, then zooms back out to show Cassie outside the barn and in front of a barren tree, looking up at the stars

Even Heroes have the right to bleed  She sings, still focused on the few stars in the sky

I may be disturbed…but won't you concede The camera focuses on the branch, then travels up it a bit to show Tobias' talons. The camera zooms out further and shows Tobias (the bird)

Even Heroes have the right to dream  His head darts once, then he spreads his wings and flies away.

It's not easy to be me An abrupt scene switch to Jake leaning out of a window

Up, up and away…away from me Jake watches Tobias in the distance

It's all right…You can all sleep sound tonight He sighs

I'm not crazy…or anything… Shaking his head, Jake ducks back inside the window

I can't stand to fly The camera follows Tobias to the outside of a house

I'm not that naïve Looking in through a window, we see Marco on his bed, tossing a koosh ball in the air and catching it

Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees He makes a face, sort of rolling his eyes and shaking his head, then walks down the hall. He flops down on a couch in the living room, grabbing the remote off the coffee table

I'm only a man in a silly red sheet He flicks channels until he comes to an old Superman cartoon

Digging for kryptonite on this one way street He watches

Only a man in a funny red sheet The camera focuses on the TV,

Looking for special things inside of me Then zooms out on Tobias and Ax watching

Inside of me Cassie outside

Inside of me Rachel in her room

Inside of me Tobias outside on a branch

Inside of me Ax, now inside his scoop

It's not easy to be me. Back to Jake. He sings, then climbs into bed, pulling up the covers and rolling over.

Author's Note: Now that was weird. I actually finished something. I just sat down and wrote this. Wow. Especially since I couldn't seem to finish anything before. It seems my Animorphs streak is back. This is pre-45, I guess, though I suppose you could imagine it any time you want to… anywho, please review.
