I wear the mask,
But I'm crumbling
I bear this load
But I'm stumbling
A bleeding soul
You will not see
It's easy being all
But me
Within these perfect little lies
We carve a phantom of our lives
So no one cares
Yes, no one knows
Of painful scars
Or hurtful blows
Why shouldn't we just wear a mask
When of our struggles none will ask?
In words of life
We change the tide
We walk with others
Side by side
So take a moment
Think of others
Pray for your sisters
Friends, and brothers
Some lasting healing
Can take place
When we love others
Face to face
And make them drop the mask of stone
To see that they don't walk alone.
