The Spirit In The Mirror

Every time I look in a mirror
This old man is looking back
If I turn my head to my left
He turns his to his right

If I smile, he smiles
If I frown, he frowns
“What is it about you?”
I say to myself

“I’m everything you are”
Said the man from the glass
“I’m everything you do
And everything you’ve done

I’m the music in your heart
The words in your head
The victories and losses
Of so many years

I’m your hopes and your dreams
The kindness you show to others each day
You know who I am, you made me this way
I’m the Spirit in the mirror who won’t go away

No matter how often you walk away
I’ll still be here watching and waiting for you
I’m the Spirit in the mirror
Who watches over you.”
