1- Life's a masquerade filled with so many faces
Faces that aren't so real
Hearts that really can not feel
Problems that I face each and every single day
Tell me that I 'm not where I'm supposed to be

V- I remember how tight we used to be
And I want You to draw me closer to Thee
Lord, I try to live an honest life
So why do I try to fool God's people all the time?

C- I just wanna be real with You
I just wanna live a life that's true
I just wanna be real with You

2- Notice what it takes
And Lord I don't want to be fake
For there's another side of me
Lord, I've got to get it straight
And it's my desire to be more like You each day
But the enemy keeps trying to lead me further astray

V- When I, when I come into Your presence
Let me feel You
And when I leave the santuary
I want to live true
Lord, I've tried to live an honest life
So why do I try to fool God's people all the time?

CHORUS

I want to be real when I sing
I want to be real when I preach
I want to be real when I minister
I want to be real with You Jesus
I want to be real in season
I want to be real out of season
I want to be real on Monday
I want to be real on Sunday
I want to be real, Mmm
Gotta be real
I want to be real, Mmm
Gotta be real, huh, huh
When I sing...
