Well here I am out in my make believe world
Makin´ believe I´m working
Makin´ believe I´ve got a girl
But inside I know
I´m as real as I wanna be
What if I sailed off to the edges of the sea
Just to see the other side
Just to feel free
And to prove to myself
I´m as real as I wanna be

And even the sky
The sky can´t stop me now
Even the sky
The sky can´t stop me now

From now on I´m out on the wrong side of the track
Takin´ a long look back
And no one can catch me
I´m as real as I wanna be
I´m packing nothing but that which belongs to me
My heart and soul
And the pieces of a dream
I´m gonna make that dream
As real as I wanna be

And even the sky
The sky can´t stop me now
Even the sky
The sky can´t stop me now
Cause I´m real

And what if I find hate or despair
Oh lord, what if I find nothing there
How could I last
When all that stands beside me
Is the shadow that I cast
And I may come to see the only thing that was true
Was you
Long ago back in this mystery
And I may wish that I could reach back in to pull you
Through
But you´ll live on in my memory
In a tear that I will leave behind me
Cause I´m as real as I wanna be
