Bb           F                       C
Not some tragic struggle, Not some endless search
Bb                      F                  C
Just the story of some kids growing up in church
Bb                F       Ab                C
We took in every moment, With open eyes and ears
Eb                   Bb             G
And one day took to heart what we saw in those years And we saw


[Chorus]
F      G           F      C       F     G               Abm  Am
Real people with real struggles, Real lives bruised in real ways
F                   G        Am  Bm
And there was real joy, And real hope
 Dm                     G         C      Bb     F
And through it all we found real faith


[Verse 2]
Bb                   F                       C
We count it as a blessing to know such strength and peace
Bb                      F                       C
Oh not that they were perfect but they lived with honesty
Bb                       Am     Ab            C
And the evidence we witnessed daily in each life
Eb                               C                  G
Helped pave the way for us to embrace the love of Christ And we knew


[Chorus]
F      G           F      C       F     G               Abm  Am
Real people with real struggles, Real lives bruised in real ways
F                   G        Am  Bm
And there was real joy, And real hope
 Dm                     G         C      Bb     F
And through it all we found real faith


[Bridge]
Eb            Dm         C
Remind us oh Father, That around us every day
Eb                       Dm                                 G
The innocent eyes are watching, May they see our lives and say  I see


[Chorus]
F      G           F      C       F     G               Abm  Am
Real people with real struggles, Real lives bruised in real ways
F                   G        Am  Bm
And there was real joy, And real hope
 Dm                     G         C      Bb     F
And through it all we found real faith
