Stay Real 03:32
Stay Real I call her lover and we call ourselves dancers We're learning on the go We take precautions, but we're taking our chances Turning on a dynamo We share a vision, and we share the same bodies Now isn't that what lovers do? The plan is easy, but society sucks, and I guess that's just what we go through. Stay real We're getting much closer Stay real Give me your hand Stay real Before we get older Stay real And never, never let go We talk to pictures, water cellophane flowers We have a wishing well Don't ever doubt of what we do with our powers When we're in the same spell We look around us and we see a bright future Look again, a price tage We built the pyramids, we built the computers Now can I get a white flag? Stay real We're getting much closer Stay real Give me your hand Stay real Before we get older Stay real And never, never let go We want a piece of land, a piece of our planet To grow a lemon tree To dig a hole together 'til we find water And heat it in a cup of tea I'll put my worries and my troubles on paper Then I'll start singing Until a businessman upon a skyscraper Buys me out thinking: "I'll make you rich, boy, you give us such joy. I'll make you rich boy, count me out. Come make me rich, boy, you give us such joy. I'll make you rich boy, count me out." Stay real We're getting much closer Stay real Give me your hand Stay real Before we get older Stay real And never, never let go

Shelter The Light The eyes of the world are watching They don't really matter to me I'm aching and I let'em see I wait on a wave to wash it Away into sand-size debris I'm saying: "Come set me free" I won't let the darkness in I'll shelter the light within The eyes of my soul are crying I kept them away for too long I'd blind them, I'd do them wrong Myself and the world are turning I wonder why I feel so alone We burn here and then we're gone I won't let the darkness in I'll shelter the light within
