Lincoln Brewster - Real Life lyrics

rate me

I still see the kid in me

Building castles by the sea

And skipping rocks across those ocean waves

Still building buoy rafts

And sailing on the Kachemak

And running wild across Alaskan plains

And all my yesterdays don't seem so long ago now

And all those early years will always seem like home somehow

And it was real life

And it was real good

It was a place I took for granted 'cause I just never understood

And there was real pain

There were real tears

But the way my Mama loved me somehow carried all those years

It was real life

Oh it was real life

I still see the kid in jeans

But now he's standing next to me

Never thought that I'd have boys to raise

I don't have it figured out

It still feels like playing house

And it's something I am learning everyday

And all of my todays seem like they're rushing by so fast

And every time I look around I pray that it will last

And it's real life

And it's real good

And sometimes I take it all for granted even though I never should

And there is real pain

And there are real tears

But the way my baby loves me somehow carries all these years

And this is real life

When I'm old and turning grey

And my boys have moved away

When it's time for me to say goodbye

I hope I leave a legacy

I hope that God is proud of me

I hope that I leave something good behind

And all my yesterdays are flashing right before my eyes

And I'm standing in God's presence when I finally realize

This is real life

This is real good

It's a place I took for granted 'cause I just never understood

And there'll be no pain

And there'll be no tears

'Cause the way my Father loves me makes me grateful I am here

This is real life

This is real good

It's a place I took for granted 'cause I just never understood

There'll be no pain

There'll be no tears

'Cause the way that You have loved me is the reason I am here

This is real life

Oh this is real life

Oh this is real life

This is real life
