stained glass masquerade- casting crowns

Is there anyone that fails
Is there anyone that falls
Am I the only one in church today feelin' so small

Cause when I take a look around
Everybody seems so strong
I know they'll soon discover
That I don't belong

So I tuck it all away, like everything's okay
If I make them all believe it, maybe I'll believe it too
So with a painted grin, I play the part again
So everyone will see me the way that I see them

CHORUS
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's been there
Are there any hands to raise
Am I the only one who's traded
In the altar for a stage

The performance is convincing
And we know every line by heart
Only when no one is watching
Can we really fall apart

But would it set me free
If I dared 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

CHORUS 2x

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 that fails
Is there anyone that falls
Am I the only one in church today feelin' so small


Cant this song describe us all at one time or another? isnt there times in this world where we feel so different from everyone else, we feel torn apart, different, just not like everyone else, if your anwser is no, then you are lying to yourself, everyone wants to have a good image, even if the inside its not so great, I think this is song is trying to say that everyone has thier own mask they hide behind, and even with a smile and a good attuide, you can still feel rotten inside, but you don't have to feel rotten inside if you confess to Jesus, he can take all that pain and rotteness away, that really is a good song, it just, touched me.
