Something Real
Jorn Lyrics

There was a shadow over heaven
From the day I was born, there was a negativity hovering over me.

On the day that I was born
Since my birth, I was encircled by some kind of negativity.

They tried to bless me with holy water
People tried to purify me with some sort of holy water.

But I was baptized in a storm... Oh yeahhh
But instead of being purified, I was baptized amidst a storm of bad luck and pessimism.

I was raised with a crossbow aiming for something real
I was trained and nurtured to aim for an authentic goal.

I sent out the arrow from behind my defense shield
I launched an arrow from behind my protective shield to achieve my aim.

Eternal dreamer so full of lite
My soul is full of aspirations for eternity.

A faithful believer soon I will arise
I am a devoted believer and I will eventually emerge victorious.

They tried to put me down
People have always tried to pull me down.

And it struck me hard
Their negativity has hit me severely.

I used to turn the other cheek
I used to ignore their actions and let it go.

Till they pushed me too far
But when their actions went beyond limits, I stood up for myself.

Now I'm right on target
Now, I am precisely aiming for my goals.

And my thoughts are clearer
My mind is clear and focused on my objectives.

Closer to balance as the end draws neare... Oh yeahh
As I approach the end, I am moving closer to equilibrium.

I give you everything just for a while
I am willing to give everything I have to offer for a short period.

You got the best of me this is my time
You have extracted the best from me, now it's my time to move forward.

The seed I've been given, Hallelujah
I have been given an opportunity to grow and to succeed.

To grow my ambitions high
I want to elevate my aspirations to greater heights.

All you people of the western land
People living in the western lands, listen up.

Is it so hard to smile and lend a helping hand
Is it too difficult to spread happiness and help others?

Open your hearts it can be simple
If you open your hearts, it's simple to bring about positivity.

If you just show what you feel
Express yourself and show what's in your heart.

Go look for something real
Find something authentic and true.

You can call me a peace warrior
I am a peace-maker by nature.

A dark soul of light
I am a mixture of darkness and light.

I sing for the future
My actions are aimed towards a better future.

And the melody is my guide
I follow my heart and my passion for my goals.

Sailing the waters
I am navigating through rough waters.

Of this endless lullaby
Of this monotonous and never-ending struggle.

My ship is leaking
I am facing problems and difficulties.

Can't stop it if I try... Ohh
Try as I might, I can't seem to conquer my hardships.

Closer to harmony as my love feels nearer
As I approach my goals, I am getting closer to a harmonious and peaceful life.
