We wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
And mouth with myriad subtleties.
Why should the world be over-wise,
In counting all our tears and sighs?
Nay, let them only see us, while
We wear the mask.
We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries
To thee from tortured souls arise.
We sing, but oh the clay is vile
Beneath our feet, and long the mile;
But let the world dream otherwise,
We wear the mask!
Speak The Language Of Your Heart
Each day we wake is such a gift;
No moment's guaranteed.
Tomorrow isn't promised,
Everyone is searching
for the missing piece in life.
The key to unlock the door
As I lay here in the dark by your side,
You bring me great love, and I feel great pride.<
If you take me,
Take me for who I am.
If you love me,
Accept me with all
You make me feel so real
I lay awake at night thinking of you
I close my eyes and
The wind whistles past my ears.
Closing my eyes, I lose all my fears.
The waves c
Life's too short to be wasted.
It passes just once, so make the most out of it.
L
Not a day goes by
that I don't wish you knew how much I love you.
Not a day goes
You're always there when I need a hand,
Pushing me, helping me.
You're there when
The friendship we have is so rare to find.
We hate to see each other in a bind.
