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!
What do I see in you? Oh boy. Oh boy,
I see mountains and rivers a lifetime of joy,
How I wish to trust
In life, no questions asked,
Hanging on God's words,
Say yes, and we could surf the highest waves,
Your hand in mine, never losing faith.
Taking a romantic ride today,
We sat upon the wagon.

If ice cream could be grown on the treetop,
Tiny tummies would be liking it lots.
No other friend is quite like you.
No other friend could do exactly what you do.
My love for you is unconditional and enduring.
To you, I promise to always be reassuring.
Always looking for ways to improve myself,
But I struggle to take that first step.<
When someone's having a bad day,
A smile could go a long way,
So make sure to put
When I am looking into your eyes,
I see all the love you have for me.
I see in yo
