Real to Me
by Sidewalk Prophets

Album: The Things That Got Us Here

Verse 1
I was raised in the heartland, taught to revere Your name
I spoke it out on Sundays, other times used it in vain
Yeah, I'd stare up at the stars, seeking shelter from the noise
Send up a thousand prayers but I never heard Your voice
Searching, searching for something real

Verse 2
My world came crashing down, felt empty to my bones
All my friends say they prayed for me, but still I felt alone
So I drove off in my car, crying underneath the stars
Yeah, the songs on the radio spoke to my busted heart

Pre-Chorus
In this brokenness, I was free
That's the moment, You became real to me

Chorus
I've danced in the sun, I've run through the rain
Felt You take the place, of the sorrow and the pain
It took my everything, now I believe
You became real to me

Verse 3
Now my heart is still aching, for authenticity
But the truth is running deep and wide beyond, what we can see

Chorus
I've danced in the sun, I've run through the rain
Felt You take the place, of the sorrow and the pain
It took my everything, now I believe
You became real to me

Bridge
Hallelujah, for the questions and the drives
Hallelujah, for the road and all the miles
Hallelujah, for the days of doubt and fear
Hallelujah, for the things that got me here
Hallelujah, for the questions and the drives
Hallelujah, for the road and all the miles
Hallelujah, for the days of doubt and fear
Hallelujah, for the things that got me here

Chorus
I've danced in the sun, I've run through the rain
Felt You take the place, of the sorrow and the pain
It took my everything, now I believe
You became real to me

Outro
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
Hallelujah
It took my everything, now I believe
Hallelujah
You became real to me
