She laughs and dances gracefully
Anywhere
anytime on stage
She brings joy to everyone around
In front of a crowd
She paints a plastic smile in her face
With a blue pencil her eyes twinkle
A mask of plastic happiness
Often covers her sadness
She’s lonely but no one can tell
She’s learning to use her mind
To control her pain
Nobody knows her fake smile
Nobody knows she lies awake
Nobody knows how much she’ll take
As she cries herself to sleep
As she prays the Lord her soul to keep
When they see her
All they see is her beautiful smile
But behind a smile living a life in a lie
Today she continues to dance
She continues to laugh
She continues to hope
One day there will be no more
Mask for her to wear
One day she'll know
Her place in this place
One day this mask will be no more
