Reality Now

I’m flying and crying 

and trying not to show

the feeling I’m stealing

when dealing with my soul.

I’m shaking and faking

and taking far too much

for granted, enchanted,

I wanted just one touch—

Reality now!

Ain’t ya tired of living confusion–

Reality now!

Up against a concrete illusion–

Reality now!

Pardon my unwanted intrusion–

Let’s have a transfusion of truth.

Reality now!

We’re heaving and grieving,

believing every hoax,

evolving and solving,

revolving like a spoke.

We’re playing, betraying

and praying we’re not caught,

but freedom and pardon

and love just can’t be bought—

Reality now!

Ain’t it time to make a decision–

Reality now!

Tear apart this deadly division–

Reality now!

Shutting down our nuclear fission?

Resurrect our vision of God:

Reality now!
