Real Life
(smile for the picture)
Two sweethearts lovers marry young
Wedding pics on walls are hung
Making love both day and night
What happens at their very first fight

Something's funny down the hall
Come and see what going on
After all its the real life that we live
Though its still life its where we learn to give
To each other, if it comes to push and shove
Its the one place we learn to practice love
In the real life

Theres a picture on the wall
Mom and Dad and kids and dog
Christmas tree and gifts and all
Fire burning yuletide log

Something's funny down the hall
Come and see what going on
After all its the real life that we live
Though its still life its where we learn to give
To each other, if it comes to push and shove
Its the one place we learn to practice love
In the real life

TV preacher shouts against sin
And what a state this world is in
Raises his hands and paces the floor
Closing prayer walks out the door

Something's funny down the hall
Come and see what going on
After all its the real life that we live
Though its still life its where we learn to give
To each other, if it comes to push and shove
Its the one place we learn to practice love
In the real life

Ultrasound doesn't give hope
The doctor's at the end of his rope
She's got a choice she needs to make
"how much prayer will this thing take?"

Something's funny down the hall
Come and see what going on
After all its the real life that we live
Though its still life its where we learn to give
To each other, if it comes to push and shove
Its the one place we learn to practice love
In the real life

Smiles for the picture may look great
But will it show reality of late
Cameras sometimes don't show the truth
If it isnt real then whats the use ?

Something's funny down the hall
Come and see what going on
After all its the real life that we live
Though its still life its where we learn to give
To each other, if it comes to push and shove
Its the one place we learn to practice love
In the real life
