True Story

I am a gifted artist
 I've learned to paint this canvas well
 I work until I've finished
 An ideal image of myself
 But You know better
 I am a storyteller
 Quite brilliant, if I do say so
 I tell them tales they want to hear
 And they believe it's me they know
 But You know better
 You see my imperfections
 Still You say I'm a masterpiece
 A marvelous reflection
 The image of Yourself in me
 You paint with strokes of grace
 Undoing my disguise
 You say beauty lies in the true story
 The world might think me foolish
 If they could see beneath my mask
 They might find my dreams laughable
 Or be embarrassed by my past
 But You know better
 You see my imperfections
 Still You say I'm a masterpiece
 A marvelous reflection
 The image of Yourself in me
 You paint with strokes of grace
 Undoing my disguise
 You say beauty lies in the true story
 Of where I've been
 And where You've brought me to
 Of who I am
 All because of You
 All because of You
 All because of You
 All because of You
 You see my imperfections
 Still You say I'm a masterpiece
 A marvelous reflection
 The image of Yourself in me
 You paint with strokes of grace
 Undoing my disguise
 You say beauty lies in the true story
 You see my imperfections
 Still You say I'm a masterpiece
 A marvelous reflection
 The image of Yourself in me
 You paint with strokes of grace
 Undoing my disguise
 You say beauty lies in the true story
