Faces of happiness

Faces of madness

Faces full of pride

Faces wondering where to hide

Faces filled with wonder

These are the many faces we wear

Faces worn because we don't dare

Too afraid of being hurt

We hide our faces in the dirt

Faces of love

Faces that won't look above

Faces full of pain

Faces that have no name

Faces full of concern

Faces of hearts that are broken and burned

These are the many faces we wear

Faces worn because we don't dare

Too afraid of being hurt

We hide our faces in the dirt

Faces whose eyes tell a story

Faces that hide whatever is gory

Faces that are full of fear

Faces that mourn for past years

Faces of laughter

Faces that claim nothing matters

These are the many faces we wear

Faces worn because we don't dare

Too afraid of being hurt

We hide our faces in the dirt

These are the many faces we wear

Faces worn because we don't dare

Too afraid of being hurt

We hide our faces in the dirt

Too afraid

Oh so afraid

Too afraid of being hurt

We hide

Oh how we hide

We hide our faces in the dirt
