Masquerade

A crowd of people, a sea of faces
Each individual disguising the empty places
In their lives and in their hearts
Secretly longing for someone to heal the hurting parts
That are contained behind their masks
Waiting for someone to simply ask
Wishing for a safe place to share
To open up to someone who truly cares
Someone who won't judge them on the surface
A kind soul who reminds them of their meaning and purpose
When the mask is gone, inner beauty shines
Maskless people are the lights in this dark time
So lift your mask, join with me
Open your eyes, look around, and see
That there are others who need your help
To take off their masks and reveal their real selves
