about

Originally written for and recorded by a 12 year old Filipino girl, the words were changed, the digital drums and bass were replaced by the bands musicians with real drums and a real bass and "Stephen J." recorded a new vocal track. The keyboard tracks were recorded by Rich West, formally of the SSQ band. SSQ was Stacey Q's band from the 80's who had the hit, "Two of Hearts."

lyrics

Real life, is something that you can see,
I see birds, the ocean, sunset and trees,
Unless you've seen these things,
It's hard for one to describe,
Forever you, your beauty astounds in strides.

At night, real life takes a different turn,
if one's awake, there's a lot out there, to be learned,
For you can see the life and fruits, that you have sewn,
Forever you, a peace in my hearts been born.

And everyday when the sun goes down,
Forever you, look around, the sunsets profound.
I can feel, through the sleet and rain,
a sense of love, replacing any feeling of pain........ [BRIDGE]
I just can't understand, what you see in me,
and why I've been blessed, no intention to flee,
sometimes I feel, life's so surreal,
A gift taken for granted each day....
I know your love's in play.....
(INSTRUMENTAL)
and though I feel inside this scenario is all for me,
Forever you, I accept what is meant to be.

My friends, they tell me they don't believe,
that you are real, they really are that naive,
If they would open their eyes, look around, take it in, they'd see,
Forever you, all your miracles for them and me.

And every dawn when the moon goes down,
Forever you, look around, the sunrise 's profound.
if it wasn't for the things you do,
My challenges would do me in....my life would be through......
and when my hearing, has faded with time,
The breeze is your voice, that will quiet my mind,
sometimes I feel, life's so surreal,
but your beauty and your peace grow each day,
puts me above the fray.....
