Stained Glass Masquerade

Is there anyone that fails?

Is there anyone that falls?

Am I the only one in church today feelin' so small?

'Cause when I take a look around

Everybody looks so strong.

I know they'll soon discover

That I don't belong.

So I'll 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 heart that has been broken

Maybe the 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 imagined me to be?

Would your arms be open,

Or would you walk away?

Would the love of Jesus

Be enough to make you stay?
