When this fleeting limelight fades    and we're alone again    what name will your heart speak?    What is true? What is real?    Not what you feel;   what you know eternally.      ten years running blind and aimlessly    warming by the fires of bridges burning    ten thousand peering eyes that can only see    the show, the smile, the face i allow    how many more break beneath the surface?    young and bold, but blind and led by blind    His person missed beyond His name    was this the hope when we began?    a tragic generation    of faithless children and forgotten love?    i know i'd hoped for some other, higher purpose       what is true and what is real    past what you might feel    what do you know eternally?    and when this fleeting limelight fades    and we're alone again    what name will your heart speak?       and if you see me on the way down    would you smile and send me on my way?    and if you see me headed down    is there something more between    you and i?       something higher    something higher    i want to be real again    i want You, Father, be real in me    and if i see you on the way down    i'll lift your name up up into His care    and if i see you headed down    i'll do what i can to lift you up again       burn us clean, refine this world away    make Yourself real to me    make us to live as You would
