FACING THE REAL WORLD

Life is not a dream or fairy tale 
Sometimes you win sometimes you will fail
It's nice to hide behind dreams that much is true
When everything in the pretend world is both shiny and new

The real world is both bitter and cruel 
Where rudeness and dishonesty are the things that rule 
In fairy tales everybody lives happy ever after 
There is so much joy, happiness and laughter 

Everyone has to face the real world at some stage 
Fairy tales and dreams are left behind on a different page
Hold onto those dreams for as long as you can
They have always existed since time began
