Sittin' here wonderin' if this is real life
Watchin' people watch me watch them
Can't believe a moment from one to the next
Thinkin' that it's not their problem
No matter how much I might look at the world
My observations don't mean a thing
If I know the answer in the blink of an eye
To the many questions my life might bring
CHORUS
We all need
(Wisdom in small doses) A moment of truth
(Wisdom in small doses) To know what is right
(Wisdom in small doses) I know it
Don't you know how I must feel
If the answer comes from somewhere unknown
Just there without question or doubt
Words that seem so matter-of-fact
The blind simple truth is found out
I don't take apart the things that I feel
I won't build on hopes that aren't real
I never look for the truth in a lie
The truth is part of how I must feel
CHORUS
Can't believe that I might be like them
And I'm wonderin' if I'm alive
See, I'm stuck in a moment of truth
As I'm looking for answers to why
Sittin' here wonderin' if this is real life
Watchin' people watch me watch them
Can't believe a moment from one to the next
Looking for the answer again
I don't take apart the things that I feel
I won't build on hopes that aren't real
I never look for the truth in a lie
The truth is part of how I must feel
CHORUS
Now you know how I must feel
