Reality Is The Dream

You want flowers and sunshine and love

You want the moon and the stars above

You want beautiful music, lyrics deep

You want to stay up late, losing sleep

You want to learn all there is to know

You want life’s mysteries tied-up with a bow

You want racing blood and a pounding heart

And you want perfection right from the start

You cannot always get that which you want

You can’t find love just because you flaunt

You need to discover what life is about

You must learn to whisper, not only shout

You need to find love wherever you look

You won’t find it hiding inside some book

You must realize: Some things must be grown

And also accept: Some things can’t be known
