Lyrics
Real Thing
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I can dream about heaven constantly
Both day and night
I can let my mind drift away to a better place
A better time
Though there's nothing wrong with thinking about
Forever by and by
All the while millions are still searching for a light
Maybe it is time we take a look
At here and now
Maybe we can change the destiny
Of a world that's crying out
For the truth we take for granted
Is too often left unsaid
We can get so heaven minded
That sometimes we forget
CHORUS
That we're living in a real world
With real hurt and real pain
And all we really need is the real thing
When we look beyond our circumstance
And face reality
We'll realize that all we really need
Is just to see
Jesus in a real world
There are days when I look around
And I feel like hope is gone
There are times my heart is torn between
Who is right and what is wrong
There are causes I believe in
There are things I'll never change
But I'm finding all that matters
Is there's just one truth
One truth that remains
'Cause we're living... (CHORUS)
