"For Real" lyrics
(from "Piece By Piece" soundtrack)
I've been starin' at this certain star (Yeah)
'Cause I'm trainin' like every night
All alone and the lights are off
Wish that I could do whatever I like
I've been wishin' to the universe
'Cause to be real, I'd be better off
Wanna know what I'm waiting for?
Some kind of sign, like a meteorite
Something'll happen, some kind of magic
To make me feel real
I wanna experience, I want some control
I just wanna feel
Anything that has no soul
Is guaranteed to fall
So once it happens, you will know
'Cause you'll hear God's voice inside
I wanna open my eyes and know that it's okay
I'm awake, my dream has come true
And I would do it for free if that is what it takes
What it takes, is how bad I want to
Am I a toy? I got feelings too
First they pick me up, and then put me down
I am lost, who am I appealing to?
That's what they all say when I'm not around
So I pray to the universe
That it will come true finally
I'll be whoever I decide to be
Worry about yourself, 'cause I'll be alright
Something'll happen, some kind of magic
To make me feel real
I wanna experience, I want some control
I just wanna feel
I must admit that I was slow
'Cause what I didn't know
'Bout my dreams and my goals
Were inside me the whole time
I wanna open my eyes and know that it's okay
I'm awake, my dream has come true
And I would do it for free if that is what it takes
What it takes, is how bad I want to
'Cause I'm trainin' like every night
All alone and the lights are off
Wish that I could do whatever I like
I've been wishin' to the universe
'Cause to be real, I'd be better off
Wanna know what I'm waiting for?
Some kind of sign, like a meteorite
Something'll happen, some kind of magic
To make me feel real
I wanna experience, I want some control
I just wanna feel
Anything that has no soul
Is guaranteed to fall
So once it happens, you will know
'Cause you'll hear God's voice inside
I wanna open my eyes and know that it's okay
I'm awake, my dream has come true
And I would do it for free if that is what it takes
What it takes, is how bad I want to
Am I a toy? I got feelings too
First they pick me up, and then put me down
I am lost, who am I appealing to?
That's what they all say when I'm not around
So I pray to the universe
That it will come true finally
I'll be whoever I decide to be
Worry about yourself, 'cause I'll be alright
Something'll happen, some kind of magic
To make me feel real
I wanna experience, I want some control
I just wanna feel
I must admit that I was slow
'Cause what I didn't know
'Bout my dreams and my goals
Were inside me the whole time
I wanna open my eyes and know that it's okay
I'm awake, my dream has come true
And I would do it for free if that is what it takes
What it takes, is how bad I want to
