Lyrics

Is there an y one that fails?

there?

Is there an y one that falls?

Am I the on ly one in church to day in the feel in’ so small?

stage?

’Cause when I take a look a round, ing, and ev ’ry bod y seems so strong.

On I know they’ll soon dis cov er can we that I don’t be long.

So I tuck it all a way, like I ev ’ry thing’s o kay.

If I make them all be lieve it, that may be I’ll be lieve it too.

So with a paint ed grin, pen, I play the part a gain,

so ev ’ry one will see me be the way that I see them.

Are we hap py plas tic peo ple un der shin y plas tic stee ples, with walls a round our weak ness and smiles to hide our pain?

But if the in vi ta tion’s o pen to ev ’ry heart that has been bro ken, may be then we close the cur tain on our stained glass mas quer (G)ade.

Is there an y one who’s been there?

Are there an y hands to raise?

Am I the on ly one who’s trad ed day in the al tar for a stage?

’Cause The per form ance is con vinc ing, and we know ev ’ry line by heart.

On ly when no one is watch ing can we real ly fall a part.

So But would it set me free if I dared to let you see If the truth be hind the per son that you i mag ine me to be?

Well, would your arms be o pen, or would you walk a way,

or would the love of Je sus be e nough to make you stay?

Are we hap py plas tic peo ple un der shin y plas tic stee ples, with walls a round our weak ness and smiles to hide our pain?

But if the in vi ta tion’s o pen to ev ’ry heart that has been bro ken, may be then we close the cur tain on our stained glass mas quer (G)ade.

Is there an y one who’s been (G)ade.

Are we hap py plas tic peo (F#)ade.

Well, if the in vi ta tion’s o pen to ev ’ry heart that has been bro ken, may be then we close the cur tain on the stained glass mas quer ade.

Is there an y one that fails?

Is there an y one that falls?

Am I the on ly one in church to day feel in’ so (G)small?

You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature D, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?

Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
