Beyond the Mask

Each day we only have one task To live our life to our very best Sometime we hide behind a mask Even when we do our very best Though the future can look bleak It doesn't mean that we are weak Sometimes we need to shed a tear We were strong at the very start For out of the blue a mask we wear What became of that strong heart Why can't those feelings we speak For our true self that we now seek We thought that there was a place Our true self from the world hide But was there really such a place Or did we just hide behind our pride New day is dawning so does a task Start a new day take off that mask Now it time to rewrite your life story As each day you can face tomorrow You won't have to be enrobe in glory Doesn't mean there won't be sorrow Living is about overcoming life task Knowing you can live without a mask
