- Reality Lyrics / with translationsMom and dad, I'm fine, how are you?
I have joined a small circus, that much is true
I'm a little malnourished, but try to relax
Could you find a better photo for the milk carton backs?
Send money
Runaway
Where's your head?
Dreamers' dreams
Are grounded
In reality that comes from above
God is calling, there's no bigger love
It's his reality that welcomes us back
Trust and obey, there is no other way
Mom and dad, I'm fair, how's life?
Lent the money you sent me to the clown with the knife
My career as an acrobat hasn't begun
But I'm busy giving blood and shoveling elephant dung
Send money
Runaway
Why so tense?
Dreamers' dreams
Will make sense
In reality that comes from above
God is calling, there's no bigger love
It's his reality that welcomes us back
Trust and obey, there is no other way
Runaway
Blowing smoke
Your folks are worried
And going broke
After the fall
Is an all-new episode
Reality
Is the high road
In reality that comes from above
God is calling, there's no bigger love
His reality will welcome us back
Trust and obey, there is no other way
In the reality that comes from above
God is calling, there's no bigger love
His reality will welcome us back
Trust and obey, there is no other way
In the reality that comes from above
God is calling, there's no bigger love
His reality will welcome us back
Trust and obey, there is no other way
In the reality that comes from above
God is calling, there's no bigger love
His reality will welcome us back
Trust and obey, there is no other way
In the reality that comes from above
God is calling
I have joined a small circus, that much is true
I'm a little malnourished, but try to relax
Could you find a better photo for the milk carton backs?
Send money
Runaway
Where's your head?
Dreamers' dreams
Are grounded
In reality that comes from above
God is calling, there's no bigger love
It's his reality that welcomes us back
Trust and obey, there is no other way
Mom and dad, I'm fair, how's life?
Lent the money you sent me to the clown with the knife
My career as an acrobat hasn't begun
But I'm busy giving blood and shoveling elephant dung
Send money
Runaway
Why so tense?
Dreamers' dreams
Will make sense
In reality that comes from above
God is calling, there's no bigger love
It's his reality that welcomes us back
Trust and obey, there is no other way
Blowing smoke
Your folks are worried
And going broke
After the fall
Is an all-new episode
Reality
Is the high road
In reality that comes from above
God is calling, there's no bigger love
His reality will welcome us back
Trust and obey, there is no other way
In the reality that comes from above
God is calling, there's no bigger love
His reality will welcome us back
Trust and obey, there is no other way
In the reality that comes from above
God is calling, there's no bigger love
His reality will welcome us back
Trust and obey, there is no other way
In the reality that comes from above
God is calling, there's no bigger love
His reality will welcome us back
Trust and obey, there is no other way
In the reality that comes from above
God is calling
Facts about Reality

✔️

✔️
When we explore how the lyrics were meant to make us feel, the song 'Reality' by Newsboys explores the theme of escapism and the pursuit of dreams, contrasting the perceived freedom of a circus life with the grounded reality imposed by religious beliefs. The circus serves as a metaphor for chasing unconventional dreams, while the repeated call to 'trust and obey' emphasizes the pull of a higher, divine reality. The lyrics of Reality express spiritual themes together with elements of inspiration, love, joy, and existential distress. The song establishes rebellion and escape as vital elements, while it also shows importance of religious conviction and parental concern. The song includes two themes about running away to join a circus, which will create problems for younger listeners. The story becomes more adult-oriented through its depiction of malnourishment and a clown who wields a knife and blood donation scenes. The repeated emphasis on 'trust and obey' without further context could also be perceived as potentially manipulative or concerning for some parents, warranting a PG-13 rating.
✔️
Reality falls under the genre Christian & Gospel.

Reality song length is 3 minutes and 08 seconds.
