lyrics
What is real?
Was there a moment of love?
Was there a moment of fear?
In the happiness that we steal
Wanting the answers not the truth
What is, is what’s meant to be
Well our feelings aren’t hurt
I wonder why we cannot see
What is real? What is on your mind?
Where is the joy and pain?
The feelings that we cannot find?
It’s a strange day we all agree
We’re in a fog and can’t find
Our way back to reality
Where will I be when it all hits me
What is real, what is on your mind?
Where is the joy and pain?
The feelings that we cannot find?
So what happens here
Stays here……………….
Was there a moment of love?
Was there a moment of fear?
In the happiness that we steal
Wanting the answers not the truth
What is, is what’s meant to be
Well our feelings aren’t hurt
I wonder why we cannot see
What is real? What is on your mind?
Where is the joy and pain?
The feelings that we cannot find?
It’s a strange day we all agree
We’re in a fog and can’t find
Our way back to reality
Where will I be when it all hits me
What is real, what is on your mind?
Where is the joy and pain?
The feelings that we cannot find?
So what happens here
Stays here……………….

With a timeless showmanship and knack for comedic timing, this two-person outfit is guaranteed to start a full-on dance party with or without you.” – Shawn Petsche, Sled Island Music Festival Promoter ... more
