Real Life
Real life
Wouldn't it be, wouldn't it be
Wouldn't it be, wouldn't it be
Wouldn't it be nice
If peace was more than just a symbol
And waging war
Was just a game of cards
Wouldn't it be nice
If drugs were only used for healing
And the right to live
Was held in a high regard
Wouldn't it be nice
If mamas never beat their babies
And daddies never
Got down on their luck
Wouldn't it be nice
If a family stayed together
Someone said, "I love you"
"I love you" stuck
It would sure be nice
Livin' in the neighborhood
But this is real life
That's why we need Jesus
This is real life
That's why we need not another fantasy
Real life
That's why we need Jesus
(Oh, yeah)
Baby, this is reality
There's no other way through it
Real life
Whoo!
Wouldn't it be nice
If church was more than just a building
Wouldn't it be nice
If preachers never sinned
Wouldn't it be nice
If believers never whispered
And the outside
Spoke the truth within
Wouldn't it be nice
If living life was easy
If I never struggled
With sin on my own
Wouldn't it be nice
When my days on earth were over
All that I had left
Was the love that I had shown
It would sure be nice
Livin' in the neighborhood
But this is real life
That's why we need Jesus
This is real life
That's why we need not another fantasy
(Hey)
Real life
That's why we need Jesus
(Oh, yeah)
Baby, this is reality
There's no other way through it
Real life
That's why we need Jesus
This is real life
That's why we need not another fantasy
(Hey)
Real life
That's why we need Jesus
(Yeah)
Baby, this is reality
There's no other way through it
Real life
Oh, we've got to believe
He can change our destiny
Oh, yeah
'Cause this is real life
Real life
That's why we need Jesus
Real life
That's why we need not another fantasy
(Yeah)
Real life
That's why we need Jesus
Baby, this is reality
There's no other way through it
Real life
That's why we need Jesus
That's why we need not another fantasy
(Oh, yeah)
Real life
That's why we need Jesus
(Oh, yeah)
Baby, this is reality
There's no other way through it...
