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
