Somebody tell me, is there a secret
Is someone up in heaven above
Someone to show me how to face the future
'Cause I've been dreaming since I lost your love

If you want it, you will find happiness, is all in you mind
If I ain't gonna touch the sky
I know what I'm going to do,
If I can't go on loving you
I'm going to be realistic, got to be realistic
The sun don't shine every day
The truth is hard, but it's here to stay
I'm going to be realistic, got to be realistic
Girl, it's a realistic world

Anticipation
Am I aiming too high
Lord's intentions don't always come first
I'm gonna keep my head up, I'm gonna cross this river
Keep on pushing until I get through

If you want it, you will find, happiness is all in you mind
If I ain't gonna touch the sky
I know what I'm going to do,
If I can't go on loving you
I'm going to be realistic
The sun don't shine every day
The truth is hard, but it's here to stay
I'm going to be realistic, got to be realistic
I know what I'm going to do
If I can't go on loving you
I'm going to be realistic
Got to be realistic
The sun don't shine every day
The truth is hard, but it's here to stay
I'm going to be realistic, got to be realistic
Girl, it's a realistic world

I know what I'm going to do
If I can't go on loving you

I know what I'm going to do
If I can't go on loving you
I'm going to be realistic
Got to be realistic
The sun don't shine every day
The truth is hard, but it's here to stay
I'm going to be realistic, got to be realistic

I know what I'm going to do
If I can't go on loving you
I'm going to be realistic
Got to be realistic
The sun don't shine every day
The truth is hard, but it's here to stay
I'm going to be realistic, got to be realistic
