It's Got to Be Real

All my life I keep on searching for that special thing
 How I've tried to always find a love and understanding
 To always see the light of day and to know that I am living
 All my life I won't take if I'm not giving
 Only when the rain comes down
 Only when the lightning strikes me
 Will I find the answer for myself
 It's got to be real
 Be the best nothing less than wonderful
 It's got to be real this time
 What's waiting there inside
 It's got to be real
 Knowing love know it can be powerful
 It's got to be really love
 So we can rise above
 All my life I try to see the love inside myself
 And I keep on trying in no uncertain terms
 To let my light shine through
 Only when the rain comes down
 Only when the lightning strikes me
 Will I find the answer for myself
 It's got to be real
 Be the best nothing less than wonderful
 It's got to be real this time
 What's waiting there inside
 It's got to be real
 Knowing love know it can be powerful
 It's got to be really love
 So we can rise above
 To always see the light of day and to know that I am living
 All my life I won't take if I'm not giving
 Only when the rain comes down
 Only when the lightning strikes me
 Will I find the answer for myself
 It's got to be real
 Be the best nothing less than wonderful
 It's got to be real this time
 What's waiting there inside
 It's got to be real
 Knowing love know it can be powerful
 It's got to be really love
 So we can rise above
