FACE TO FACE

I found a costume in the closet Vanity and pockets full of pride I wrapped my ugliness in mystery So hidden no one even missed me I saw a mirror on the bookshelf Read the words that tore my word apart The truth was burning that's when I froze Where are the emperor’s new clothes After all the games I’ve played After all masquerade I can’t even face myself After being so unreal What's a man supposed to feel When can’t even face myself When I can shed away the mask When can do what is asked It takes a lifetime to run the race Just to see You face to face I put You on the stand and questioned Who and why and what and where and how But why should You be moved to answer A faceless voice lost in the crowd l am hanging by a thread After all l’ve done and said I can’t even face myself What's the notion in the head That keeps a spirit clothed and fed When can’t even face myself When I can peel away the skin When I can dig deep with in It takes a lifetime to run he race I will see You face to face When I can drop the disguise When I can lose all the lies It takes a lifetime but with Your grace I’ll see You face to face Face to face I’m learning to speak, see and hear The man I will be is still unclear When I can finish up the race I’ll see You face to face I’m dying to self learning to live Love isn’t love until it gives It takes a life time but with Your grace I will see You face to face I will see You face to face I will see You face to face
