Chapter 3
Nick jumped into his car and started the engine. The stereo started and he heard Superman by Five For Fighting playing. He drove along listening to the song and it made him think his own life in the last few years and about what could have happened to Sara.
There he was edging slowly towards to recovery from his ordeal, then it was Brass and now Sara. He knows he took on a dangerous job, to save those who cannot be saved and to let the dead speak and find justice. He was not Superman, but all the time he spent helping people, he wanted time to help himself and those closest to him.
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 conceed
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:
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
It's not easy to be me.
Author's note – Sorry I know adding songs as a chapter is not very creative and this was inspired by a video on a networking site, where someone had added the song to a video of Nick scenes. Thank you to that person. I do not own the rights to this song!! Please do not sue me.
