reality is real

you go to bozaar concert hall
it's a balkan festival
and everybody waits for a miracle
a miracle of reality

people in the west feel that
east is more real
serbia
albania
macedonia

the further you go the more real it gets
india nepal thailand
all the way around the globe
to the jungles of amazon
to the strange mountains or peru
where they used to sacrifice children

you go to bozaar
to buy the miracle 16 euros a day
or take a flight to salty and sweaty mexico

sometimes you feel you have it now
the miracle
the wisdom of native people
the grand secret of living without bathrooms

but then you return to your reality
to brussels to leuven to aalst to namur
to roosendaal to wetteren to dendermonde
and the miracle is gone

the miracle is gone
but reality is still there

your reality
it's a miracle as well
miracle of superhighways and water closets
that most of you don't notice

take a look in the mirror
all realities are real
your chubby belly and chunky buttocks are real
and all you need is to clap your hands
and sing in shower

clap your hands and sing
reality is real
