Judgment day, they tell me will be our destiny.
Seems to me that we’ve been judged since we came to be.
Teachers, neighbors, friends and parents, have so much to say.
In their rush to love us, they measure day by day.

They’re so busy telling, that no one stops to ask.
We buy what they are selling. We live life in a mask.
One day it will not fit us. Too late we face our task:
Searching through each face we knew, mask by mask by mask.

Fully grown, the self unknown. No key to our own mind.
We longed to please, and so with ease, we left ourselves behind.

Give us room. Let us bloom. No trellis for a tree.
You cannot know how we will grow.
Please make no mask for me.

Judgment day, they tell me will be our destiny.
Seems to me that we’ve been judged since we came to be.
Teachers, neighbors, friends and parents, have so much to say.
In their rush to love us, they measure day by day.

They’re so busy telling, that no one stops to ask.
We buy what they are selling. We live life in a mask.
One day it will not fit us. Too late we face our task:
Searching through each face we knew, mask by mask by mask.

Fully grown, the self unknown. No key to our own mind.
We longed to please, and so with ease, we left ourselves behind.

Give us room. Let us bloom. No trellis for a tree.
You cannot know how we will grow.
Please make no mask for me.
