Mask - Lyrics
So many people alive this age
So few are true today
Living their lives upon the stage
Acting out their foolish play
Some the mask of courage
Still others mimic the mime
To better hide their hidden rage
Their mask grows heavy in time
Mask oh… Mask tell me
Why do you hide?
It must be awful lonely
Lonely on the other side…
Please oh…please
Won’t you come out to play
I’d love to see your beauty
Won’t you throw your mask away
Pain within… Peace without
Eyes that smiles can’t hide
Why the fear… Why the doubt
Senseless human pride
Mask oh… Mask tell me
What do you hide?
It must be awful scary
Scary on the other side…
Please oh…please
Won’t you come out to stay
God don’t make mistakes
Don’t you hide yourself this way
Plaster mask lay shattered
In pieces on the ground.
Many actors scattered
By the light my eyes have found
Mask oh… Mask tell me
Why did I hide?
Life is now worth living
living on the other side…
Please oh…please
Won’t you help me I pray
To see and feel my beauty
You know ….
God made me this way
