WHAT IS REAL?

I. Looking up – way up towards the stars
Wondering, “Their distance, is it far?”
Oh, if only for a moment I could reach and touch
My only wish, to see if they were REAL
Spotting clouds afloat in the sky
Marveling, “how do they hang so high?”
Oh, if only for a moment I could reach and feel
My only wish, to see if they were REAL
What is REAL? What is REAL? Have you wondered, too?
And the more we wonder – the question’s new,
When do you grow? How do you know – that you’ve changed forever
Are you really different when you are REAL?

II. Beggars think of bags filled with gold
Little children dream of being old
Oh, if only for a moment I could grow up quick
My only wish, to know if I am REAL
Every person deep within his heart
Hopes one day to really stand apart
Not to copy, nor to follow, but to think alone
Our only wish – to stand up on our own
What is REAL? What is REAL............

III. REAL is showing love for a friend
REAL is an emotion with no end
REAL is breaking every boundary and restraining wall
REAL is your response to a whisper that calls
REAL is being natural and true
REAL’s the individual in you
REAL is peeling off the mask
REAL is ending off a task

When people need you – you are REAL
When you are truthful – you are REAL
When things go wrong and you accept – that is also REAL
When you can cope with pain – the tears you shed are REAL
And when these all will happen, how different you will feel!

What is REAL? What is REAL............
