Stained Glass Masquerade |
Is there anyone that fails |
Is there anyone that falls |
Am I the only one in church today |
Feeling so small |
Because when I take a look around |
Everybody seems so strong |
I know they’ll soon discover |
That I don’t belong |
So I tuck it all away, like every thing’s okay |
If I make them all believe it, maybe I’ll believe it too |
So with a painted grin, I play the part again |
So everyone will see me the way that I see them |
Are we happy plastic people |
Under shiny plastic steeples |
With walls around our weakness |
And smiles to hide our pain? |
But if the invitation’s open |
To every heart that has been broken |
Maybe then we close the curtain |
On our stained glass masquerade |
Is there anyone who’s been there? |
Are there any hands to raise? |
Am I the only one who’s traded |
In the altar for a stage? |
The performance is convincing |
And we know every line by heart |
Only when no one is watching |
Can we really fall apart |
But would it set me free |
If I dared to let you see |
The truth behind the person |
That you imagine me to be? |
Would your arms be open? |
Or would you walk away? |
Would the love of Jesus |
Be enough to make you stay? |
Are we happy plastic people |
Under shiny plastic steeples |
With walls around our weakness |
And smiles to hide our pain? |
But if the invitation’s open |
To every heart that has been broken |
Maybe then we close the curtain |
On our stained glass masquerade |
Are we happy plastic people |
Under shiny plastic steeples |
With walls around our weakness |
And smiles to hide our pain? |
But if the invitation’s open |
To every heart that has been broken |
Maybe then we close the curtain |
On our stained glass masquerade |
Is there anyone that fails |
Is there anyone that falls |
Am I the only one in church today |
Feeling so small |
