Really-Is
If I reach, will I fall
And through it all
Can the helpless
Heed a Call
When I looked to find
If there’s another way
I heard myself say

If I leap into your arms
Will I stumble on
These temples around My heart
As I’m asking you
Things-That-Ought-To-Be
I reveal my need

‘Cause I’m
Becoming a Nobody
If that’s what you want from me
I think so
I think so

If I’m to be what I have to be
To get what you want from me
I think so
I think so
I think so

If I step into the dark
Will I lose my way
Or be led to where you are
‘Cause when I looked outside
To find the light of day
It was all gray

And if I sail far from the shore
Will I disappear or
Discover something more
Because the empty place
I find myself to be
Is within me

And I’m
Becoming a Nobody
Is that what you want for me
I think so
I think so

If I’m to be what you want of me
Is this how it has to be
I think so
I think so
I think so

Try to resist the urge
To hide away
Tomorrow’s never yesterday

But knowing it’s
something deep inside of me
Something few would understand
Anyway

I could hold to what I know
To be my power
I could rightly claim the
Man of the Hour

I could live my life
Without the complication
I could walk in freedom
From my obligation

But there is a cost where
Up against all endings
I become something more

Yet in the depths of my heart
Am I to sacrifice
All that I know as myself
Am I lost

If I seek will I find
Or is this the place where
My dreams will have to die
To believe enough to
Want to let it go
There must be some kind of hope

So I’m
Becoming a Nobody
Is that what you want for me
I think so
I think so

If I’m to be what you want for me
And that’s how it has to be
I think so
I think so
