lyrics

what is real?
what is real?

the leaf or the tree?
me or me?

what is real?
what is real?

the ram or the sheep?
the wool or our sleep?
how can we say if today is the day?
if tonight is a lie?
the fly is an eye?
when do we know if a cow won't grow?
if the leather won't die?
if it loves the fly?
when do we sleep
if the rain knows our heat?
if it sings on our backs
when we turn to the black of day?

what is real?

will the fly be alright?
will the cow come home?
will the sheep ever moan?
how it groans when we shear it
so would you if you could hear it

what is real?

what is real here you see
is this reflection of me
what is real there for you
is rejection of truth
when it comes it will go
when it leaves
we will know

what is real
what is real

what is real?
why is it fair?
why did we ever cut our hair?
for too long now we've strayed
but our hearts will be saved
when we look in our eye
and we see one great sky
of love
of bliss
of sheep, rams and kids
running free once again
like they did at the end
like they did at the end
like they did at the end
like they did at the end
like they did at the end
like they did at the end

what is real?
