it takes time to get to know somebody
it takes time to really start to care
to know who and why you're caring
it takes a whole lot of sharing
to really get close and become aware
until then we're just faking being there

who are you?
who am I?
do we have time to really find out?
or shall we just pass on by?

there's a child
deep inside
will we share our inner sanctums?
or just go along for the ride?

who's in control
of your life time?
do you create your own story?
or do you follow others rhymes?

is it your life?
are you the star?
what really matter to you?
what has made you who you are


it takes time to really know each other
it takes time to really start to share
to know how and what you're sharing
to know how and why you're caring
to really get close and overcome fear
until then we're just faking being there

are you alive?
are you there?
how do you know you're feeling?
how do you know you care?

there's a child
deep inside
are you still in touch with yours?
or did you leave yourself behind?

can we touch?
can we feel?
dare we share the innocence
and trust enough to make it real?

can we love?
can we dream?
is this just my own illusion
or do you know what I mean?


it takes time to really come together
it takes time to really know what's real
to know how and what you're giving
to know that you are really living
to share everything that gives life appeal
until then we're just faking how we feel

it takes time to really come together
it takes time to really know what's true
to know the heart and soul inside
to know that your child has not died
to live every laugh you've ever laugh
to live every tear you've ever cried
to remember and to share everything you do
until then we're just faking being you

are you alive?
did your child survive?
are you alive?
