Charades

Everybody building walls
Everybody wearing masks.
Everyone pretending
Everything's ok

Everybody Hurting
Everybody  hiding
Everybody too afraid
What someone else might say

No one sees another's hurts
No one knows another's needs
Everybody thinking
Everyones ok

We could help each other heal
We could help each other grow
But the masks and walls are
In our way

Masks hold in the hurt
Walls keep out the love
Everybody's dying
Day by day

Who will take their mask off?
Who will tear their walls down?
Who will let the world know
"I'm not ok"

Everybody reaching out
Everybody reaching back
Everybody sharing
Every day

Everybody being real
Everybody being raw
Everybody giving grace
Every way

No more hiding
Where we're hurting
Everybody loving
Anyway
