Real Life

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 plainsAnd all my yesterdays

Don't seem so long ago now

And all those early years

Will always seem like home somehowAnd it was real life

And it was real good

It was a place I took for granted

'Cause I just never understoodAnd 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 lifeI 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 everydayAnd all of my today's seem

Like they're rushing by so fast

And every time I look around

I pray that it will lastAnd it's real life

And it's real good

And sometimes I take it all for granted

Even though I never shouldAnd 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 lifeWhen I'm old and turning gray

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 behindAnd all my yesterdays

Are flashing right before my eyes

And I'm standing in God's presence

When I finally realizeThis is real life

This is real good

It's a place I took for granted

'Cause I just never understoodAnd there'll be no pain

And there'll be no tears

'Cause the way my Father loves me

Is the reason I am hereThis is real life

Oh, this is real life

This is real life
