" "
I wish that I could cry,
Fall upon my knees.
Find a way to lie
'Bout a home I'll never see.<p>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.

Additional quotes by Five for Fighting

Then he said, "Here's a riddle for ya:
Find the answer.
There's a reason for the world:
You and I."

I'm thirty-three for a moment,
I'm still the man, but you see I'm a "they"
A kid on the way, babe,
A family on my mind.
I'm forty-five for a moment,
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis,
Chasing the years of my life.

Shot down, said you never had the chance,
Took a ride on a suicide romance.
Could have sworn there was somebody home
To facilitate the great unknown.
Oh woman, I ain't going to meet you anywhere.
Don't know where I'm going yet,
But I sure am getting there.
