"Façade"
from the Broadway musical Jekyll and Hyde
There’s a face that we wear in the cold light of day—
It’s society’s mask, it’s society’s way-- and the truth is that it’s all a façade.
There’s a face that we hide till the nighttime appears,
And what’s hiding inside, behind all of our fears,
Is our true self, locked inside the façade!
Every day people, in their own sweet way, like to add a coat of paint, and be what they ain’t!
That’s how our little game is played; livin’ out a masquerade,
Actin’ a bizarre charade while playin’ the saint!
But there’s one thing I know, and I know it for sure:
This disease that we’ve got has got no ready cure!
And I’m certain life is terribly hard when your life’s a façade!
