Behind the Scenes by Francesca Battistelli

This song is simply amazing! I feel like it's so true in so many ways for me. I've always tried to have everything at least look like it's okay... even if things are anything but... Those that are the closest to me know that about me, and I love that they look past my mask.

Since my accident, everything has been in such turmoil. But, as the song says, "things aren't always what they seem, you're only seeing part of me"... and even I'm only seeing part of me. "There's more than you could ever know behind the scenes"... I know that God is doing amazing things in my heart and in my life, but it's so hard to trust and have faith in such difficult times. The lines of this song, "when it's hard to find hope in the unseen, I have peace in knowing it will find me" reminds me of how full of love and grace our God truly is. Thanks be to God!

Behind the Scenes by Francesca Battistelli

You may think
I’m just fine
How could anything
Ever be out of line?

I take my time
To set the stage
To make sure everything
Is all in place

Even though I’ve got the lines rehearsed
A picture only paints a thousand words

Chorus:
Things aren’t always what they seem
You’re only seeing part of me
There’s more than you could ever know
Behind the scenes
I’m incomplete and I’m undone
But I suppose like everyone
There’s so much more that’s going on
Behind the scenes

Sometimes I can’t see
Anything
Through the dark
Surrounding me
And at times I’m unsure
About the ground
Beneath my feet
If it’s safe and sound

When it’s hard to find hope in the unseen
I have peace in knowing it will find me

(Chorus)

You may think I’m just fine
How could anything ever be out of line?

(Chorus)
