I can tell by the look on your face 

It's another day of fasting 

I can tell by the length of the shadow 

That your face is casting 

And you look both ways before you pray 

Just to see who's watching you today 

(Chorus) 

It's just your altar ego - and it's so hard to know 

Beneath the piety and hidden vanity begins to show 

It's just your altar ego - and you don't even know 

And you won't even grow til His Spirit strikes a bow 

To your altar ego 

Photos 

You love to seen by men 

In all the public places 

And you always pick the best of the seats 

You've got the social graces 

Can you be so proud of respect you've won 

When your left hand knows what the irght has done 

Turn around and face the One 

Who knows your heart 

He knows your heart
