"Stained Glass Masquerade"
By Casting Crowns
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 seems so strong
I know they'll soon discover
That I don't belong
So I tuck it all away,
like everythings 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
(Chorus)
Are we happy plastic people
Under shiny plastic steeples
With walls around our weakness
And smiles to hide our pain
But if the invitations open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we close the curtain
On our stain 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 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 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
(Repeat chorus x2)
But if the invitations open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we close the curtain
On our stain glass masquerade
Is there anyone that fails
Is there anyone that falls
Am I the only one in church today feelin' so small
