We act just fine when in reality Our insides rage and cry Asking desperately to be shown on the outside We are pretenders of this reality We lie to ourselves and say everything will be just fine Sure everyone has secrets to hide but some just eat you up inside How can we ask people to be honest and have integrity When we deny ourselves the right of identity Fear is our enemy He whispers in our ears with frightening intensity We tear like fabric and we shred like thread We promise strength and dexterity When we really can only believe in bravery We've lost sight of our true purpose To be like minded and act with sincerity To love and to be loved To uphold character and walk with God Almighty Our true selves are hidden away like a desert oasis The mirage of perfect living is only true in stories But with the touch of righteousness The grace and mercy of the loving King We can begin again with light and prosperity We give people hope of stronger days Sight for brighter tomorrows Paths for mightier ways
