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
That I don't belong


So I tuck it all away
Like everything's OK
If I make em all believe it
Maybe I'll believe it too


So with a painted grin
I'll 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 that hide our pain


But if the invitations 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 raised?
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
You imagine me to be


Or would your arms be opened
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 that hide our pain


But the invitations open
To every heart that's 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 that hide our pain


But if the invitations open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we close the curtain
On our stained glass masquerade


If the invitations 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?
