about

I was participating in a mens group for a while in Marin. During one of the meetings this guy turned to me and said..., "are you hiding behind your humor?" This thought percolated in me for about a year before this song came out.

Oh and the answer - YES.

lyrics

Hide

I hide from you
inside a conversation
these words I use
avoid a confrontation

I’m in plain view
but in this situation
my slight of tongue
just like a magician

If I act as Shame
If I think as Fear
If I live as doubt
will this be as clear
If I Live as love
If I am as love
If I act as Love?

I don’t reveal
my truthful aspect
because if you knew
then I might be suspect

I hide from you
behind a witty comment
I dodge your glance with a smile
to conceal me in this moment

If I act as Shame
If I think as Fear
If I live as doubt
will this be as clear
If I Live as love
If I am as love
If I act as Love?
