Song Lyrics

"Stained Glass Masquerade"

by Casting Crowns
Album: Lifesong (Dual Disc)

Is there anyone that fails'
Is there anyone that falls'
Am I the only one in church today, feeling 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 ok
If I make em all believe it
Maybe I'll believe it too
So with a painted grin
I'll play the part again
So everyone will see me
The way that I see them
Are happy plastic people
under shiny plastic steeples
with walls around our weakness
and smiles that hide our pain
but the invitations open
To every heart that's been broken
Maybe then we close the curtain
On our stained glass masquerade
Is there anyone who's been there'
Are there any hands raised'
Am I the only one who's traded
The altar for a stage'
The performance is convincing
And we know every light in my heart
Only when noone 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
You imagine me to be
Or would your eyes be opened
Or would you walk away
Would the love of Jesus
Be enough to make you stay'

Chorus 2x
if the invitations 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, feeling so small'
