lyrics: dave & barbe paris, robert l. yoder music: dave paris

a fraction of my life stands before you, another show begins. a nervous soul in a wonderland & a game of “lets pretend.”

a few moments of fame i’ve got it now & all eyes are focused on me, but there’s more to the image, the hype & emotion than simply what you see.

i can be just a voice in the background, sometimes a leader of the band, sometimes it looks like i can hold the world in the palm of my hand.

it don’t mean i’m a hero, it don’t make me a star, it all turns to ego, when i take my eyes off God.

(chorus)

so don’t call me an idol, savior prophet or demigod, i’m just another humble servant needing no facade.

don’t be fooled to think that i’m some pattern of perfection, ‘cause your vision could be clouded by the power of misconception.

it’s not just a time of fantasy, it’s more than a fact of life; not a slight of hand in a magic show, an illusion of mirrors & lights.

to you seeing is believing, to me it’s all about faith, i couldn’t be here on this stage if it wasn’t for God’s Grace.

i can fall to temptation, there’s a side that you don’t see, so don’t make me an icon & don’t put your faith in me.

when authority’s given at the turn of the dial it’s like cultural russian roulette, but my faith makes no denial about the God that I have met.

(to chorus)
