What am I doing in this facade
Why should I have to pretend
I’m tired of living by some other standard
Than what I feel from within
‘Cause there is too many games that I’ve played
I’ve cheated and played fair but it’s still the same
I’ve gone round and round and round so many times
So I drop the cards and I lay them down
I’m so confused by all that I know
But it is really nothing
I’ve played my part and now the show is over
Now I can be myself
Let’s live and let live, let’s love and be loved by him
Let’s fill our hearts with the God given gift
