Stained Glass Masquerade
Is there anyone that fails, Is there anyone that falls
Am I the only one in church today feeling so small
Cause when I take a look around, Everybody seems so strong
I know they’ll soon discover, Than I don’t belong
So i tuck it all away, like everything’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 hear 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 int he alter 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
