From rag dolls to riches
Mr. Perfect to misunderstood
We're all searchin' for answers
Looking around for something good
From wide roads to narrow
And tellin' stories to tellin' the truth
We all try and decipher
Little white lies and absolutes
We need a love that will last

What we need is the real thing, real thing
Something to believe in
A love so strong, it can never be denied
It's more than a feelin'
No, we're not dreamin', dreamin'
And we wake up to find the promises of new life
Yeah, it's the real thing

We've all been fooled before
And put our faith in something beautiful
But even beauty fades
But the light of the world
Is the real thing, real thing
Something to believe in
A love so strong, it can never be denied
It's more than a feelin', yeah
No, we're not dreamin', dreamin'
And we wake up to find the promises of new life
Yeah, it's the real thing

The ways of this world will be turned to dust
Be swept away so we place the trust
In the only name and the only love
That will last forever
Jesus

You're the real thing, real thing
Something to believe in
And leave all our regrets, past and our secrets behind, yeah
It's more than a feelin'
No, we're not dreamin', dreamin'
And we wake up to find the promises of real life
Yeah, you're the real thing
I know, I know, you're the real thing
