I stand here before you


Here I am I stand before you just a man

Everything that hid my beauty and flaws disappear

Before you saw me as a shy and timid soul

Now I stand before you as free and graceful as an eagle

You will no longer pin my wings down, I will soar

I free myself of these shackles and run into the worlds view

Love me or hate me, they will see what’s real

I stand before you to show you what lies beneath

I let my demons free so that I may fight them off

Please God send your angels to destroy them

I will no longer wear this hellish mask

My face will reveal itself

I stand here before you without a filter, look at me
