Now It's For Real

hard to believe
only a day
and fifteen years of hard times
flyin' away

all those dead ends
bills comin' due
then one door opens
and I walk through--
why should it amaze me
I always knew

now it's for real
here and today
forget about dreamin'
it's real all the way

the world's made to order
here's how it feels
mine and I'm movin' it
now it's for real

all the way up
I'm gonna climb
been waitin' forever
and here's my time

was hungry for years
eyes on the goal
now comes the payoff
I'm on a roll
and I'm gonna own this
body and soul

(repeat chorus)

letdown B gone
runaround B gone
first time in my life
my timing's dead on

(repeat chorus)
