Masquerade

Lord, please shine your light down upon me

Lord, grant me good fortune don’t shun me

Take all this unhappiness from me

Say, am I just crazy?? Well, GOD BLESS ME!

Now Lord, save me a place there upon the ark

I have been wandering in the dark

Put me into your collection

Lord, am I not worth your salvation?

It’s all a masquerade

Just who is who, can’t say

Don’t leave me in the cold

Just who is fake, who’s real?? GOD BLESS ME!

So Lord, why do you watch from the sidelines?

War, it’s being fought on the frontlines

Say, what is your final intention?

Lord, I’ve kinda lost my conviction

It’s all a masquerade

Just who is who, I can’t say

Don’t leave me in the cold

Just who is fake, who’s real?? GOD BLESS ME!

Why do we have a word for truth

When the whole damn world’s an April fool?

How come we find an antidote

When germs grow fast and break the rules?

Why do I soil my clean white shoes

When it won’t be long before they’re old and worn?

Are you sad or are you happy?

How this pretension makes me yawn

GOD BLESS ME!

It’s all a masquerade

Just who is who, I can’t say

Don’t leave me in the cold

Just who is fake, who’s real?

It’s all a masquerade

Just who is who, I can’t say

Don’t leave me in the cold

Just who is fake, who’s real?? GOD BLESS ME!
