SOMETHING REAL

SOMETHING REAL

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

NOVEMBER 2018


LIFE CAN BE SO BEAUTIFUL
LIFE CAN BE SO UNKIND
TAKE YOU WITH IT
OR LEAVE YOU BEHIND

SEE YOUR DREAMS SLIP AWAY
ITS HARD TO STAY IN CONTROL
ITS NOT ALWAYS EASY
TO CAST OFF THE SILENT RAGE
 DUST OFF MY BOOTS
TURN THE PAGE
BUT I KNOW 
ANGER WON'T SAVE THE DAY

SURE IT MIGHT BE DARKEST
JUST BEFORE THE DAWN
BUT THINGS SOON CHANGE
AND THAT SOMETHING
THAT GOT ME DOWN
WILL BE GONE BY THE TIME
I TURN AROUND

A LITTLE FAITH
GOES A LONG WAY
NOTHING ANYONE CAN SAY
ITS UP TO ONE BUT ME
AT THE END OF THE DAY
I'M JUST GLAD
I GOT AWAY

LIVED THE BEST I COULD
NOW I'M READY FOR SOME MORE
LET IT SHINE, MAKE IT POUR
I'LL STILL TRY TO KEEP THIS SMILE 
NOTHING CAN CHANGE 
MY POINT OF VIEW
ITS ALL ME, NOT YOU
I JUST GET A LITTLE BLUE

SOMETIMES I WONDER WHY
AND WHO
NEVER MIND
UP AND OVER THE WALL
JUST BE CAREFUL
HOW YOU FALL

LET GO OF FEELINGS
I DON'T NEED
FEED THE ONES I DO
I'M GONNA TAKE MY TIME
I'M GONNA DO IT RIGHT
STEP OUT FROM THE DARKNESS
RIGHT INTO THE LIGHT

THE MOON MY ONE COMFORT
IN THE NIGHT
AT THE END OF THE DAY
IT ALL SEEMS SO FARAWAY
YOU START TO WONDER
IS IT THE DREAM
IS IT THE DREAMER

GIVE ME SOMETHING REAL
I CAN FEEL
I CAN SEE
SOMETHING THAT'S NOT
GOING TO BE THE END OF ME
SOMETHING REAL
THAT I CAN TASTE
DON'T LET ME FALL FROM GRACE

CUT TO THE CHASE
LOOKS LIKE I'M BACK
 IN THE RACE AGAIN
PITTED AGAINST THE CLOCK
AGAINST ALL THESE YEARS
APPROACHING TWILIGHT
REACHING OUT WITH
HOPES ON HIGH
