And sadness the worker we often employ Our attitudes negative day after day Instead of enjoying we wish life away Our mouths they are laughing to hide our malaise And put on a front for each eye that may gaze They’re curving on upward and forming a grin Our lips they are smiling to hide what’s within On the surface so bright but inside we all cry We strive to be honest but grin as we lie Deceive with expressions our number one task Dishonest by choice and by wearing our masks Offending each human by being uncouth Unexplainably fearful of telling the truth Our hurts we keep hidden from sight of each other Our weaknesses kept under darkest of cover When will we just learn to eliminate fear? Present who we are and let others draw near Give up our deceit and throw out our old ways And take off our masks and show others our face And let people see how inside we may feel Can we stop being fake and instead become real? And no longer the worker of sadness employ As we choose to just view what we have as a joy
