《Superman (It’s Not Easy)》是Five For Fighting的歌曲。
Five For Fighting:1997年,John Ondrasik以“Five For Fighting”这个名字在Capitol公司发行了他的首张个人专辑《Message for Albert》。三年之后,Five For Fighting的第二张专辑《America Town》通过Columbia正式发行。在这张专辑中,John Ondrasik的歌曲不仅一如既往的歌颂爱与生命,而且开始逐渐偏向政治,而Ondrasik的创作才华开始得到越来越多歌迷的认可。随着专辑中动人的钢琴情歌《Superman (It's Not Easy)》,《America Town》的销量很快也突破了白金。在“911”事件之后,John Ondrasik在当年冬天举办的纪念演唱会中演唱了这首《Superman (It's Not Easy)》,使得这首歌曲更加的深入人心。2004年2月,Five For Fighting发行了第三张专辑《The Battle for Everything》。这张专辑是Five For Fighting最有野心,也是歌词最为大胆的一张专辑。2006年8月,Five For Fighting第四张录音室专辑《Two Lights》出炉。本张专辑发行首周以5万2千张的单周销量名列Billboard 200专辑榜第八位,成为Five For Fighting迄今为止首周销量最高,打榜成绩最好的专辑。
Five For Fighting被美国创作型歌手John Ondrasik用作艺名,实际上,Five For Fighting这个词原来是冰球比赛中的一项规则,指被裁判罚下场5分钟等待重新上场的队员。John Ondrasik出生并成长于洛杉矶的San Fernando Valley地区,母亲是一位钢琴教师。从两岁开始,John Ondrasik就开始跟随母亲学习音乐。在13岁那年,已经精通钢琴演奏的John Ondrasik开始自学了吉他。之后,John Ondrasik开始尝试自己作曲。兴趣广泛的John Ondrasik甚至还专门学习过唱歌剧,但过了不久,他就发现歌剧并不是他真正喜欢的,最吸引他的还是比利·乔(Billy Joel),旅行乐队(Journey),埃尔顿·约翰(Elton John),史蒂夫·旺德(Stevie Wonder)和Earth, Wind & Fire乐队的音乐。

Superman (It’s Not Easy)歌词:
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naïve
I'm just out to find
The better part of me
I'm more than a bird,
I'm more than a plane
I'm 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 naïve
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed but won’t you concede
Even Heroes have the right to dream
And it's not easy to be me
Up, up and away, away from me
Well, it's alright
You can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy or anything
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naïve
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 [2x]
I’m only a man in a funny red sheet
I’m only a man looking for her dream
I’m only a man in a funny red sheet
It's not easy.
It's not easy to be me.
