Lyrics
Life Gets Real
words & music: Ann Reed
From now on it's cash & carry
No more payin' over time
Get no credit for unfilled moments
Or any dreams left behind
& because of all that life gets simpler in fact
Right this moment you don't know it
But you're standing prepared
For the advent of all the big stuff
Had you runnin' 'round scared
& because of all that
Life gets simpler in fact
Learn to breathe
When to yield
Find what can be & cannot be healed
On the crest of the wheel
Life gets real
While you walk on all the long held
Fairy tales disappear
Ever after doesn't matter
Like right now & right here
& because of all that life gets simpler in fact (chorus)
Now you decide
There's a pause at the top of the ride
Arms up, open wide
At some point it's from the ground up
Just a brick at a time
After layin' a new foundation
The building's comin' 'long fine
& because of all that life gets simpler in fact (chorus)
