Slam Behind the Curtain
Slam behind the curtain
What I don't want others to see;
Slam behind the curtain
The real and true me.
I'll be sweet and kind,
Gentle and true;
Only God
Can see the real you.
So slam behind the curtain
What I wish to hide;
But some day soon
I'll be crushed by my pride.
Hide my life story
Place my book out of reach;
I'll feed on others' friendships
Like a bloodsucking leech.
Slam behind the curtain
All my secrets and lies;
Don't tell others
Until to Heaven I rise.
Hurt others in my wake
And let trust die;
That's what will happen
If I give in to pride.
Don't slam behind the curtain
My true self;
Leave the curtain open
Take my life off the shelf.
