The Real World

In the real world, if you ask me
There's always music in the air
In the real world, there's no fine print
All is clear, all is fair
In the real world, a gift from above
There's only love

But there's a world out there
Full of fire and thunder
Of pain and hunger
Where babies are born
In the rubble of war

In the real world, angels are singing
The sound of kindness soothes my soul
In the real world, every wayfaring stranger
Finds a friend, finds a home
In the real world, a gift from above
There's only us

But there's a world out there
Where might's always right
Where men love to fight
Where greed is their god
And mercy's denied

In the real world, if you ask me
There's always music in the air
In the real world, this gift from above
There's only love
