Danny Gokey – Makeup

Lyrics: Makeup by Danny Gokey

I know what I’m about to speak
Might make some enemies
But it means too much to me
So why don’t we just pull up a seat
Straight talkin’ you and me
What happened culturally?

They say if it looks good
Then it must be
A little lipstick
And you can’t see
The monsters hidin’ underneath

‘Cause we’re out cold
In a woke dream
While the thief is
Takin’ everything
And the truth is outside whispering (Wake up)

So wake up
I think the devil’s trying to play us
He’s mesmerized us with the makeup
But it’s made up
Open your eyes stop buying all the lies

Yo ‘cause Evil
Been dressing up to fool the people
Got all the saints on pins and needles
‘Cause truth’s illegal
But I really don’t care, I’m a lot more scared

If we don’t wake up
Oh, we gotta wake up
There’s a war against our souls
Wake up, oh, we gotta wake up
From the lies that we’ve been sold

What is love if we don’t tell the truth?
Even if it hurts
‘Cause that’s what Love would do

‘Cause hate speech
Is what we don’t say
We go with the lie
‘Cause we’re too afraid
To speak up when you’re near the ledge

‘Cause gravity
It don’t change
And your truth
Won’t change a thing
Don’t find out walking off the edge

This is not me versus you, my friend
‘Cause that’s when no one wins
It’s not the place I try to prove I’m right
We’re running out of time

What we feel may seem right
But feelings can tell lies
When we stay in our pride
And we will not humble ourselves
We miss His grace to get help

So open your eyes and see the side you’re with
Is it life or death?
Satan won’t tell you how the party ends
Until you’re too far in

He’ll lure you with makeup
And a fake truth that he made up
But it’s not too late
Oh, it’s not too late to wake up
Oh, we gotta wake up
