Reflection

Look at me
You may think you see who I really am
But you'll never know me
Every day
It's as if I play a part

Now I see
If I wear a mask
I can fool the world
But I cannot fool my heart

Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?

When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?

I am now
In a world where I have to hide my heart
And what I believe in

But somehow
I will show the world
What's inside my heart
And be loved for who I am

Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?

Why is my reflection
Someone I don't know?

Must I pretend that I'm
Someone else for all time?

When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?

There's a heart that must be
Free to fly
That burns with a need to know
The reason why

Why must we all conceal
What we think, how we feel?

Must there be a secret me
I'm forced to hide?

I won't pretend that I'm someone else for all time


When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
