The Real Thing

i was looking for a very best friend
someone to stick with me
until the very end

i was searching for a place to fit in
someone i can trust
someone to understand

i was reaching for a hand to hold
somewhere i can go
so i didn't feel alone
(feel alone)

that's when, you opened up my eyes
right there i was changed
then i realized

chorus:
you are the real thing
you are the only one
this is a real dream
knowing i am loved
you are the real thing
and I'll never give you up
never let you go
oh no, oh no, Jesus

oh no, oh no

i can't rely on everything i here
everything i see
as truth i can believe

so many people got their own kind of spin
they just flip the words
to make it make sense

i want something
something in my life
something genuine
something only you can give
like love like peace and joy and hope
the more i see the more i know

chorus:
(you are the real thing
you are the only one
this is a real dream
knowing i am loved
you are the real thing
and i'll never give you up
never let you go
oh no, oh no,)

you are the real thing
that's just who you are
and you will change me
if you live inside my heart
you are the real thing
and i'll never give you up
never let you go
oh no, oh no, Jesus

so unshakable
solid as a rock (you are the real thing)
so reliable
everything this world is not
(you are the real thing)
so unshakable
solid as rock
...everything i realize

chorus:
(you are the real thing
you are the only one
this is a real dream
knowing i am loved
you are the real thing
and i'll never give you up
never let you go
oh no, oh no,)

you are the real thing
that's just who you are
and you will change me
if you live inside my heart
you are the real thing
and i'll never give you up
never let you go
oh no, oh no, Jesus

you are the real thing
and i'll never give you up
never let you go

thats when you opened up my eyes
right there i was changed then i realized

you are the real thing

thats when you opened up my eyes
right there i was changed then i realized

you are the real thing

oh no. oh no Jesus
