THE SHAM

I think I could tell most anyone, around me, underneath the sun
What I want about who I am
But when You look at my life, You cut right through to the inside
You see the pillow underneath the sham

I could smile the whole day through
I could cry right out for help
But I cannot lie to You
Even if I managed to fool everyone, including myself

It’s more than just a little strange to live your life up on a stage
For an audience of One who really, truly knows
When I mess up every time, I stutter and forget these lines
I wind up feeling oh so exposed

I could exit stage right
I could lock my dressing room
I could stay there all night
But no matter where I go, You will know, I cannot hide from You

You didn’t just see, you always, always knew
And still You came for me, and you did just what you came to do

I think I could tell most anyone, around me, underneath the sun
What I want about who I am
And whether or not that is true, You know that I cannot fool You
Yes, You know it all and still You love this man, oh man
