Casting Crowns - Stained Glass Masquerade Lyrics

Complimentary "Stained Glass Masquerade" Ringtone

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 

CHORUS 
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 

CHORUS 2x 

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
