Real World
Days, times we will rememberWhen innocence was lostWe let our hearts move onSo many dreams we thought would last foreverToday it doesn't matterAll those dreams are gone, they are gone, ooohTell me how it feels againOh, show me that it's real and then
I'll walk away, from my own reflectionThe stranger that I knewThe stranger that was youAnd now I face a cold return to senderA truce but no surrenderA voice that won't ring true, where are you? oooh
I reach over the edgeAnd throw a penny in the wishing wellIt's so deep that I can tell
That in the real worldThere's fewer stars in the skyAnd in the real worldYou can get hear children cry at nightThis is the real world
There is no time, for a life of solitudeOnly hunger and survivalIn the world we were born into, we're alone, oooh
And it brings me to my kneesOur father lay me down to sleepFather pleasePray the lord my soul to keep
Keep us in the real worldKeep us in the real worldDon't have to tell youIn the real worldThey'll damn you if you tryIn the real worldLet it begin with you and I
This is the real worldThere's fewer stars in the skyThis is the real worldYou can get hear children cry at nightNow in the real worldThey'll damn you if you tryAnd in the real worldLet it begin with you and ILiving in the real worldYeah, living in the real world
