Gems

Was looking at the archives of friends' blog, and somehow i always seem to find a gem.
This really touched my heart. When i read it, it simply just resonated within me.

Are we happy plastic people
Under shiny plastic steeples
With walls around our weakness
And smiles to hide our pain
But if the invitation‘s open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we close the curtain
On our stained glass masquerade

Is there anyone who has been there
Are there any hands to raise
Am I the only one whose has traded
In the altar for a stage

The performance is convincing
And we know every line by heart
Only when on one is watching
Can we really fall apart

But would it set me free
If I dare to let you see
The truth behind the person
That you imagine me to be
Would your arms be open
Or would you walk away
Would the love of Jesus
Be enough to make you stay
