Let you all understand there is a mask for every face
a character for every place
a style for every pace
what you see is what I show
is it dark or does it glow
for each face you want to know
is it me or is it foe
to try and live without hate
is it my choice or is it fate
to sense the evil in every trait
a brand new door or an open gate
I take a breath and count to eight
to find a chance, a whole new slate

How we live is within choice
are we silent or do we have a voice
to have a chance of great rejoice
a reason for us to always believe
without the sadness or reason to grieve
our faith in others with no reason to leave
a chance for us to finally breathe
My true character is what I'll reveal
a change in my life so unbelievably real
the mistakes of the past so far from ideal
I've chosen my face it’s hard to conceal
it’s the right path for me is what I feel
my character, my road, my gracious new deal

My character is not defined by my face
nor with the effort for my place
when my actions become words
they sore to the sky and fly like birds
Without these characters what I would be
a time with a chance to become me

My thoughts and actions are stronger than words
a break from the pact, now soaring like birds
I see my road, my brand new path
a life for me without the wrath
a chance for me to make amends
and the efforts we make that never ends
