The Real Thing Lyrics

How could I sleep
with the whole world to meet
and everything ahead of me?

I could use some
where I'm going
it's a hard and long lonely road.

It's hard to loose it all
if you had it all
and you think everyone owes you.

Like father, like son
you've passed it on,
we're all foreigners,
we don't have a home,
not one we call our own,
that train has long gone...

So if I ever find
what I'm out to find
at least I'll know
I found it alone.
but don't you worry now,
this path I'm going down
is where I meant to go
a stranger told me so,
he said that my dreams would come true,
if I keep doing what I do,
and I intend to...

Good night my darling one,
I know it won't be long.
This life is just a ride,
it's powerful and bright,
it's almost like the real thing.
