  Too many hypocrites - I heard her say
 I even  saw it in the  headlines today
  How can I follow God, when His own people turn away?
  Nobody's perfect but I just want to see
 somebody living  what they say  they believe
 If they've got all this world needs  like they say
 I wonder why won't they give  some away
 (Chorus:)
 Can she/he/they see God for who  He really is
  In what she/he/they  see(s) in you and me?
 Yeah, Can  she/he/they see God  for who  He really is,
 
  for who He really is, is all she/they really needs to see
 ("he" part is different:)
 for who  he really is -  is all he really  needs to see
 All he really needs to see
 He slips into church and he puts up his guard
 They look so happy but his life's been so hard
 He keeps his distance so they wont see the scars
 It's just religion that's all dressed up in white
 and God is love as long as you're living right
 But does he know that Jesus also had scars
 and His love can reach him no matter how far
 The skeptics are watching to see who will fall
 while those disillusioned search for the truth in it all
 Maybe today we'll cross their paths unaware
 and they'll stop and look at us. What will be there?
