[Featuring Jon Micah Sumrall of Kutless]

So much stress keeps running through my mind now
I fell into a mess that I wish I could climb out
I guess I'll hide it so nobody will find out
That way everyone things everything is fine now
At home things are messed up with mom and dad
And at school all my friends stab me in the back
No one is real anymore I hate the way they act
There is so many things that I wish I had
So God if you're there do you understand
Don't you care about anything that's happening
It's not fair to put me though all this junk again
You see that I'm scared so help me if you can
So please speak loud and clear cuz I'm listening
I need to know that you're real cuz I'm struggling
You need to show that you're here cuz I'm stumbling
Show me that you care and this is why I'm saying this

Chorus
Are you real I want to know'
Are you real then let it go
Are you real I want to know
Are you real then let it show

It was right then when everything it began to change
I started looking at these things in a different way
I saw life through God's eyes and it wasn't the same
That was right at the time I called on your name
And then I saw all the lies that was thrown my way
I recognized that I need you and on that day
I cried out and seeked you that was when you came
Now that I see you I've been through a major change
I believe you are real cuz it's so plain
And finally I feel that I can make it through anything
It don't matter what they speak or if they hate
They can't keep me down no more cuz I've seen your face
And from now never will I be ashamed
Cuz I'm a stand strong I won't bend or sway
Now that I know that you're real it's gonna be ok
I hear you speaking in my ear and this is what you say

Chorus

See there is a war that's going on outside
You can try and ignore it and just run and hide
But everyday more and more people die
See the battle is for souls and we are on the front lines
So many soldiers are too scared to fight
They're too worried about what people thinking of they life
How can you fight if you won't lay down your pride
And how will anyone see if you won't shine your light
So many of your friends is walking around blind
And you've got the source that can open up their eyes
It's y'all's choice what you'll do with your lives
But I'm gonna go to war cuz I've made up my mind
Jesus gave his life when he went and died
So the least that I could do is just give him all of mine
So how many of y'all are ready to fight by my side
Cuz this is what he's saying right now here tonight

Chorus
