Well here I am out in my make believe world

Makin' believe I'm working

Makin' believe I've got a girl

But inside I know

I'm as real as I wanna be

What if I sailed off to the edges of the sea

Just to see the other side

Just to feel free

And to prove to myself 

I'm as real as I wanna be



And even the sky 

The sky can't stop me now 

Even the sky

The sky can't stop me now



From now on I'm out on the wrong side of the track 

Takin' a long look back

And no one can catch me

I'm as real as I wanna be

I'm packing nothing but that which belongs to me

My heart and soul

And the pieces of a dream

I'm gonna make that dream

As real as I wanna be



And even the sky

The sky can't stop me now

Even the sky

The sky can't stop me now

Cause I'm real



And what if I find hate or despair

Oh lord, what if I find nothing there

How could I last

When all that stands beside me

Is the shadow that I cast

And I may come to see the only thing that was true

was you

Long ago back in this mystery

And I may wish that I could reach back in to pull you

through

But you'll live on in my memory

In a tear that I will leave behind me

Cause I'm as real as I wanna be
