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 mystery 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
