Piolo Pascual sang "Superman" in Japan

Out of the blue while at a Hotel room in Sendai during my biz trip, I remembered the popular actor Piolo Pascual sang the song "Superman" at the "Hearts on Fire" concert in Japan in 2002.

For me, the handsome and gentle actor made an excellent rendition of the song and so good that it stuck in my mind from then on. I did like the song from that time and it played constantly in my mind.

So I decided to download the song on the internet - the original one by "Five for Fighting". I also looked up the lyrics and would like to share it with you folks below...

What is the true meaning of this song ? Was it used in the movie "Superman returns" ?
Anyways, for me its a revelation that the "superman" amongst us do have their weaknesses but they cannot complain. Perhaps its time to pause and think and be considerate about those people we rely so heavily upon and realize that they too are also human.

PLEASE feel free to comment on what this song means to you.

Btw, I prefer Piolo's version than the original and how he sings it as if he was flying.

Superman
By: Five For Fighting

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
And 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 concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
And 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
Inside of me, inside of me, inside of me, inside of me

I'm only a man in a funny red sheet
I'm only a man looking for a dream
I'm only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for a special things inside of me

And it's not easy… It's not easy to be me

To GBS/CIDP/Polyneuropathy Patients and Friends

Hello my friends with GBS/CIDP/Polyneuropathy, I was diagnosed with GBS, then CIDP then polyneuropathy in Jan 24,2012 and I was scared that it would be the end of my life. My body weakened starting from my feet all the way up to to my hands up to the point that I needed the nurse or my brother to feed me.  Now I can walk and work normally as I did since September, 2012, for more than 2 years now. My advice to all of you my brothers and sisters is to hang on to your faith and never lose hope.  Stay positive.  Stay connected to the world - the GBS-CIDP FB forum helped me ,  my FB and twitter friends kept me strong.  The visits of my colleagues at work re-informed that I can still contribute something to this world. My mom and my brother supported me on day-to-day basis and I was very lucky to have them by my side during the visiting hours.  The rest of my relatives all over the world sent their love and prayers.  But if you have no family around- th...

Fav-Song Lyrics-004: Are you Lonesome Tonight - by Elvis Presley

Are you Lonesome Tonight ? Sang by Elvis Presley (words & music by roy turk and lou handman) Are you lonesome tonight, Do you miss me tonight? Are you sorry we drifted apart? Does your memory stray to a brighter sunny day When I kissed you and called you sweetheart? Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare? Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there? Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again? Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight? I wonder if youre lonesome tonight You know someone said that the worlds a stage And each must play a part. Fate had me playing in love you as my sweet heart. Act one was when we met, I loved you at first glance You read your line so cleverly and never missed a cue Then came act two, you seemed to change and you acted strange And why Ill never know. Honey, you lied when you said you loved me And I had no cause to doubt you. But Id rather go on hearing your lies Than go on living without you. Now the stage is bare ...

Get Rid of Anger - wikiHow

Get Rid of Anger - wikiHow One more thought to help you diminish anger and hatred: After almost 4 decades living in this World, I have come to realize one thing --- The Law of Action and Reaction is very true in us humans. We should take advantage of this law. A person who constantly reflects and observe the things around him can master the principles of success and achieve almost up to perfection. He would think to himself - if somebody is mad at him or is criticizing him then obviously he is doing something wrong or inappropriate. Instead of getting back at that other person, he would thank him either verbally or through feelings of gratitude, and use that "reaction" as a hint to point to what could be the problem. If he is 100% sure that there is really no problem, or that is is not heading the wrong direction in life, then he can consider the fact that the criticizing person could possibly be misinformed, misled or there has been a lack of communication - and think of...
