Life's a masquerade, filled with so many faces
Faces that aren't so real, hearts, that really cannot feel
The problems that I face, each and every single day
Tell me that I'm not where I'm suppose to be
I remember how tight we use to be
And I want you to draw me closer to Thee
Lord, I tried to live an honest life
So, why do I try to fool God's people all the time?
I just wanna be real with U
I just wanna live a life that's true
I just wanna be real with U
I just wanna be real with U
I just wanna live a life that's true
I just wanna be real with U
Notice what it takes and Lord, I don't want to be fake
For there's another side of me, Lord, I got to get it straight
And it is my desire to be more like You, each day
But the enemy keeps trying to lead me further, astray
When I come into Your presence, let me feel You
And when I leave the sanctuary, I want to live true
Lord, I tried to live an honest life
So, why do I try to fool God's people all the time?
I just wanna be real with U
I just wanna live a life that's true
I just wanna be real with U
I just wanna be real with U
I just wanna live a life that's true
I just wanna be real with U
I wanna be real, when I sing
I wanna be real, when I preach
I wanna be real, when I minister
I wanna be real with U, Jesus
I wanna be real in season
Wanna be real, out of season
I wanna be real on Sunday
I wanna be real on Monday
I wanna be real
Gotta be real
I wanna be real
I've gotta be real
When I sing
When I preach
When I minister
Want to be real, oh, yeah
