Living The Dream (For Real) (Song 1025)


This is a follow-up to the ‘Reality In Dreamland’ concept story which I finished at the end of the 90’s.  21 years later I released my first album through DistroKid.

 

Verse 1
Lived in a bubble doing my thing
Dreaming ’bout my music happening
I did the best I could at the time
Wished for more but keeping it mine.

Pre-Chorus
The dreams weren’t real, but my feelings were
Could reality be preferred?  Could reality be preferred?
Could reality be preferred?

Chorus
Now I’m living the dream for real
Never a need for a record deal
Decades later can’t beat how I feel
Doing what I like, how I like right – too right!
Doing what I like, how I like right – too right!

Verse 2
If not ready you cannot rush
Taking your time is a must
Gotta create your own space
In a world where you feel in place.

Pre-Chorus 2
Develop and progress
An entity with identity
Making progress
With artistic integrity.

Chorus
Now I’m living the dream for real
Never a need for a record deal
Decades later can’t beat how I feel
Doing what I like, how I like right – too right!
Doing what I like, how I like right – too right!

Bridge
Now the pieces have come together
And now I’m  living
Happily ever after
With meaning love and laughter
Reaping no income but fun – love
What has become
The way I did what I did was the way
That it had to be done
Before the time wasn’t right
I was not quite at the point I had to be
Waiting for the pieces
To come together eventually.

Chorus
And now I’m living the dream for real
Never a need for a record deal
Decades later can’t beat how I feel
Doing what I like, how I like right – too right!
Doing what I like, how I like right – too right!

Doing what I like, how I like right – too right!
Doing what I like, how I like right – too right!
Doing what I like, how I like right – too right!
Doing what I like, how I like right – too right!
Doing what I like, how I like right – too right!

Chorus
And now I’m living the dream for real
Never a need for a record deal
Decades later can’t beat how I feel
Doing what I like, how I like right – too right!
Doing what I like, how I like right – too right!
