Real

Fake smiles no longer fool me

That look on your face

Everything you say

Has no likeness to what I see.

 

You can paint it on like a master

It tricks the world around you

Everyone believes it too

Until your soul screams and crashes

 

Give up on it now...

I'm not the boy you think I am...

 

I am real!!!

Never forgetting where I came from

When I fall I look to the Son!

This is me!!!

Take from me, and then be gone

It only proves you're not the one!

 

Ear to ear it spreads on

A mask for you to hide in

Like we all try to hide our sin

You don't know what you had, but now it's gone.

 

I take it off of me now.

Make me the man who can see again!

 

I am real!!!

I'm still here where I came from

When I fall I look to the Son!

This is me!!!

Take from me, but don't be gone

Through my forgiveness you'll see that I'm the one!

 

No matter where I'm at in this life

He fights the battle right by my side

When I'm fallen He pulls me through

Sacrificed himself for me and you!!!

 

I am real!!!

The cross is what makes me who I've become

When I fall I look to the Son!

This is me!!!

He gave to me a life to give

I give it in praise to the Son!

 

Forgiveness is a virtue

It's been given unto you.

Give it unto others

That they might see the truth!
