They say you are an inspiration
They say you are so full of light
But they can't see your depression
That you are in a spiritual fight
All they see is your smile
As you lift your voice to sing
As you drift away for awhile
As, for a moment, you can breathe
They cannot see the fear
They cannot see the pain
You won't ever shed a tear
Won't let them see the chains
The shadows are still there
Their whispers in your mind
Strangers lay your soul bare
Even they are just as blind
Momentary freedom, just a taste
Your cry fades in the night
Sent back to this dark place
Back to bear this unending plight
You lie in bed, Bible against your chest
You wonder why this is your life
Called an inspiration, blessed
They don't see this strife
His screams are in your ears
As you pray the voices scream
Please, Lord, ease my fears
Tell me this is just a dream
