Trooper - The Real World lyrics

Some people feel so bad

Try so hard, get so sad

Some people never had

The breaks, the luck, the timing

They watch their dreams get bought and sold

Their hearts get hard but they don't grow cold

Somewhere between love and gold

They choose the silver lining

Oh baby, it's the real world

Hard and cold, young and old

Oh baby, it's the real world

Some people make their way

Hand to hand, day by day

So they can earn the price they pay

For the grace, the love, the caring

Try to choose the life you lead

What you want and what you need

Fill the spaces in between

With tenderness and sharing

Oh baby, it's the real world

We make our way, day by day

Oh baby, it's the real world

Some day

You'll grow

And you'll know

What I know

Some day

You'll grow

And you'll go

Where you want to go

So if you ever feel

Like you don't belong

Hold your head up

And be strong

Struggle with the right and wrong

I'll be there for you

Oh baby, it's the real world

Your whole life long, you will belong

Oh baby, it's the real world

No matter what you do

I'll be there for you

Oh baby, it's the real world
