So you say It's another crazy phase that they're going through When they grow out of and when they do They'll open their eyes and see the light of day In her eyes a mistery is stirring no place to hide The pain that is buried so deep inside It's no game she's playing it's no masquerade It's no game she plays it's no masquerade Now she's gone You wonder how you Could have been so blind Looking back now you see all the signs It's no game she's playing it's no masquerade It's no game she plays it's no masquerade I know that children should not be A sacrifice to our neglect We should love them and hold them and pray For their lives And show them the hope there is In someone who knows Them better than they know themselves And to Him they can run They can hide Masquerade... masquerade... Pray for the children, pray for their peace Hold them and love them, pray don't cease...
