Lyrics
The wind chime rings
As I leave my meager home
These words rhyme with things
And bring joy to some.
The red wing blackbirds
Buzz in the trees
As May rushes onwards
As flowers attract the bees (2X)
Chorus:
In the real world
There are many, many dreams
But few come true
And that?s the way it seems.
Hook:
The limelight
Is flattery
It charges
My battery
It lifts me off the ground An original song by:
With its fantastic sound Maxwell MacPherson, Jr.
With its majestic sound. P.O.Box 141

My house is in an order
Of total disarry
We?re often on the border
Of awkward things to say (to each other).

Chorus 2
In the real world
There are many, many dreams
And some come true
And thats the way it seems. Repeat Chorus 2. End.
