about

Life is a stage on which we play, different roles, going through different phases. More often than not we find ourselves in front of the mirror - almost like the evil queen in Snow White - but what do we see?

lyrics

Mirror

Mirror, mirror, what do I see
is it really true, is this truly me
Is this what I want my life to be
Mirror, mirror, what do I see

Curtain falls
It's me you see
But who is he
walking out - hesitantly

Second act
a different kind
a different mind
stepping up - forcefully

Comes a third
playing nice
excluding vice
trying to live - ordinarily

Mirror, mirror, what do I see
is it really true, is this truly me
Is this what I want my life to be
Mirror, mirror, what do I see

In the fourth
there's vanity
the best of me
questioning all - doubtfully

To the fifth
as time goes by
strength sublime
avoiding decay - desperately

Mirror, mirror, what do I see
is it really true, is this truly me
Is this what I want my life to be
Mirror, mirror, what do I see

Final six
it's lullabies again
for me, myself and I
we take a bow - respectfully

Mirror, mirror, what do I see
is it really true, is this truly me
Is this what I want my life to be
Mirror, mirror, what do I see
