She Looks In The Mirror
In the dawn
Her reflection
The look in her eyes
She looks in the mirror
And can't recognise
The woman inside it
returning her gaze
The cracks are appearing
Through the steamy haze
Streaks down the mirror
Tears down her face
Tired of confronting
Day after day
The woman inside her
Is bursting to be
Happy and peaceful
Loving and free
The clouds through the window
Are blocking the sun
It mirrors her heart
And what she has become
She knows that within her
There is still a glow
Of the girl who's reflection
The world wants to know
As the breeze starts to enter
The mist starts to clear
The haze in the mirror
And her eyes do appear
Looking quite deeply
Herself she does see
A flicker of mischief
Of who she used to be
Quickly she opens
The window to make
The haze disappear
This chance she must take
Choosing to love more
To take very good care
To replenish the soul
Of the girl who was once there
Affirming love fiercely
For all that she is
She remembers the feeling
Of pure love and bliss
Her hair she untangles
Her face she does paint
With the smile of her dreams
And her youthful glint
As her fire starts to ember
As her heart begins roar
She flings out her sadness
And opens the door
For her rebirth has given
Her chance once again
To be full of life and excitement
To be her own best friend
So love yourself fiercely
In every way
And when the sorrow
Comes creeping
Remember to say
I love you my good friend
Inside and out
Through the good times and bad times
Throughout sadness and doubt
I will never surrender
I will never give in
I embrace myself fully
And promise to bring
The sunshine and laughter
The hope and the love
Filling up with the goodness
That is sent from above
Now look in the mirror
And start loving away
The reflection before you
Loves hearing you say
Nice things and dreaming
About the life you will lead
There is nothing as precious
As the reflection you see
