Something Real
Been halfway round this world or so
And now I'm back in town
And after all I've seen I must admit
There's much more to be found
Lives lived here are not their own it seems
Everybody's torn
One half breathes the air of make-believe
The other cries forlorn
Comedy, emotions on display
Stealing time endlessly
But I will not become a casualty of life
And I refuse to let the movies dream for me
Oh, give me something real
Enduring and eternal, beyond just what I feel
Oh, is there something real beyond these walls that I can follow?
Something real
Seeking common ground with all these strangers in our midst
A chemical good time
And substituting for our lonliness
Anything we find
Wrap my world in virtual and trivia
Keep me ever entertained
So I never have to wonder what I'm doing here
Or face the voices in my brain, sayin'
Oh, give me something real
Enduring and eternal, beyond just what I feel
Oh, is there something real beyond these walls that I can follow?
Something real
Well I've made idols out of broken glass
And worshipped things of gold
Always hoping that they would outlast
The fire in my soul
If there are promises that will be kept
If there is love which will not fade
I will not find it with my own dim eyes
Stand with me, as I pray
Oh, give me something real
Enduring and eternal, beyond just what I feel
Oh, is there something real beyond these walls that I can follow?
Something real
Oh, something real
Oh my God
I believe you're real
