The Circus of Life

[Instrumental cello and tuba introduction] [Verse] Clown world's masks They hide the tears Pretending to laugh But sadness rears Behind the smiles Are deep dark fears In a world of jest Who hears? [Verse 2] Society's jesters play their part But Jesus sees each weary heart Heartache fades, wounds mend, With His love, we ascend. [Chorus] Jesus hears our silent cries Through our halls of empty lies [Verse] In this circus of love We all play our part With a clown's grin We hide our broken heart In chaos and confusion We lose our way But in the shadows Hope still finds a way [Verse 2] The world is a stage Where fears hold sway But we keep dancing Even when skies turn gray Lost souls yearning for a sign So divine In the darkness Searching for our lifeline [Harpsichord solo] [End]
