Camouflaged!
Every day you put on a mask
a different face for each task
the son, the brother, the father, and friend
each role you play...till the days end
No one can know, no one must see
the face hidden underneath, realness hidden by thee
it's been so long, even you don't know
what's behind your mask...what the mirror will show
If you take it off, you feel so weak
so scared, terrified to speak
look into your eyes, and see without the disguise
is this the man you're supposed to be
Remove the mask, it will set you free
help you heal, help you to see
that your mask hides nothing these days
now let me help remove your mask...let's put it away!!!
