All my life I keep on searching
for that special thing
How I've tried to always find
a love and understanding
To always see the light of day
and to know that I am living
All my life I won't take
if I'm not giving
Only when the rain comes down
Only when the lightning
strikes me
Will I find the answer
for myself
It's got to be real
Be the best nothing less
than wonderful
It's got to be real this time
What's waiting there inside
It's got to be real
Knowing love
know it can be powerful
It's got to be really love
So we can rise above
All my life I try to see
the love inside myself
And I keep on trying
in no uncertain terms
To let my light shine through
Only when the rain comes down
Only when the lightning
strikes me
Will I find the answer
for myself
It's got to be real
Be the best nothing less
than wonderful
It's got to be real this time
What's waiting there inside
It's got to be real
Knowing love
know it can be powerful
It's got to be really love
So we can rise above
We can rise above
We can rise above
To always see the light of day
and to know that I am living
All my life I won't take
if I'm not giving
Only when the rain comes down
Only when the lightning
strikes me
Will I find the answer
for myself
It's got to be real
Be the best nothing less
than wonderful
It's got to be real this time
What's waiting there inside
It's got to be real
Knowing love
know it can be powerful
It's got to be really love
So we can rise above
It's got to be real
Be the best nothing less
than wonderful
It's got to be real
It's got to be real
Knowing love
know it can be powerful
It's got to be really love
So we can rise above
e the time and get it right
