Life is so full of changes
the ups and downs, the strive
the mirror guides you through the years
like a friend without compromise.
When you’re young it reflects flawless beauty
the rosy skin, the hair aglow with shine
the lips so soft, so plump, so rosy
This one looking back looks just so divine.
The seasons come, the seasons go
a wrinkle here, some pounds in tow
You never can escape its judgment though
sometimes you’re high, sometimes you’re low.
But as time goes on, it becomes quite clear
that the one looking back will look different year by year
not only by time and by wear and by mood,
but also by what your soul brings to fruit.
There’s the outside that the mirror can only reflect
inside there’s another person which it cannot detect.
This one is much different from what you might see
Only I know your secret personality…
So… don’t look into the mirror
it only tells you lies
if you truly want to see yourself
just look into my eyes.
