Stained Glass Masquerade--Casting Crowns


Is there anyone that fails is there anyone that falls
Am I the only one in church today feelin’ 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 okay
If I make them all believe it, maybe I’ll believe it too
So with a painted grin, I 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 to hide our pain
But if the invitation’s 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 to raise
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 that you imagine me to be

Would your arms be open 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 to hide our pain
But if the invitation’s 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 feelin’ so small
