The thunder roars lighting strikes
Down the hall the baby cries
Can't stop the rain from up above
We're short on sleep but long on love

CHORUS:
This is real life this is our life
It's a hard life but a good life
We wander down the road share a heavy load
And somehow it always turns out right
Walking heart to heart thru this real life

Roll up our sleeves a little sweat
What we put in is what we get
We want our wants but have our needs
We're short on time and long on dreams

CHORUS:
This is real life this is our life
It's a hard life but a good life
We wander down the road share a heavy load
And somehow it always turns our right
Walking heart to heart thru this real life

BRIDGE:
Some days I feel like we're just feathers on the wind
But no matter how hard it gets I wouldn't trade this in
