Lyrics

FOR REAL

Words and Music by Jane Lippman

I used to lie awake remembering
All the things I wished had been said or done
It always seemed to me, there was no chance for honesty and what was real
What was for real

It?s hard to own up to the fact you?re a long way from perfection
When you?re surrounded by nothing less than the very best
I have to ask myself, is this me or someone else, who is real
Who is for real

Bridge
I won?t look back, won?t turn around
Take my time, stand my ground
It?s hard to change, but you never will
When you live your life as if you?re standing still

And just when I?d lost all hope for tomorrow
That light came shining at the end of the road
Now I can easily see you believe in me
And you, you are for real
