Real Life
Daniel Lanois, N’Dea Davenport
[Verse 1:]
Did you hear today the stories of our real lives?
Hate has placed a claim on people who won't free their minds
Is it a crime?
Why do we fight?
Who is the blame?
Who pays the price?
Ooh, real life
[Verse 2:]
There must be a place for people over 65
Some are old and gray, mistreated as they wait to die
Is it our right?
We don't inspire
Don't turn away
They need you now
Ooh, real life
[Verse 3:]
We will surely taint the beauty of our real lives
War is still a game to children using guns and knives
Open your eyes
This is your life
This is your fate
Now is the time
Ooh, real life
I'll hold my breath to make the change
Real life
I'll hold my breath 'til judgement day
Real life
