Let it begin with you and I
Keep us in the real world, keep us in the real world
And it brings me to my knees our father lay me down to sleep
This is the real world
That in the real world
Don't have to tell you in the real world
You can get hear children cry at night
And now I face a cold return to sender, a truce but no surrender
Tell me how it feels again, oh, show me that it's real and then
And in the real world
Now in the real world
They'll damn you if you try
A voice that won't ring true, where are you? Ooh
It's so deep that I can tell
Father please, pray the Lord my soul to keep
There is no time, for a life of solitude only hunger and survival
All those dreams are gone, they are gone, ooh
In the world we were born into, we're alone, ooh
You can get hear children cry at night
And in the real world
This is the real world
The stranger that I knew, the stranger that was you
They'll damn you if you try
This is the real world
There's fewer stars in the sky
In the real world let it begin with you and I
Living in the real world
There's fewer stars in the sky
I reach over the edge and throw a penny in the wishing well
So many dreams we thought would last forever today it doesn't matter
I'll walk away, from my own reflection
