Lyrics
[Verse 1] I know how to live my life I wanna feel the sun shine on my face Reach out for a better time for an open space

[Verse 2] You try and you try again You gotta stop daydreamings all day long Wake up no you got to choose baby right or wrong I never let you go

[Pre-Chorus] I open up the door Such a new world for you to see You are the key Let's go to a place you never seen before Wo-oh-wo!

[Chorus] What is real tell me now what's going on What is real good enough to carry on What is real even try to show me the way The way to love you

[Verse 3] Don't stop baby don't give up Another day another chance for you Don't need anybody else you can be yourself Now there is you and me
