[Verse 1]
F7 C Em
Frozen statues in the cold, washed in moonlight blue and gold.
F7 Am G
Mary's babe in plastic hay, quiet wonder on her face.
F7 C Em
Mary, you look so serene, far too pretty, much too clean.
F7 C Em
We might think we know you well, but what stories would you tell?
F Am C Em
Of all the dirt and dust and shame, every burning labor pain,
F G
And as I turn to walk away, I hear you say...
[Chorus]
F G
I am real.

Don't turn me into memory or myth.

Shepherds bending to the ground, Bethlehem is safe and sound.

How many sleepless nights awake found you desperate and afraid?

And as I turn to walk away, I hear you say...

To love like you don't even care about the hurry and the hussle,

But every minute, every hour, every day.

To be real,
