Life is filled with mirrors
That reflect back all our fears
In times of sorrow in times of sadness
In the mirror we see our madness

Life is filled with what we see
In the eyes of you and me
There is no lie, no saving face
Just the mirrors saving grace

Something dark and something light reflected in the mirrors light
Take a risk and see your soul, stand your ground, let the truth be told
Break the chains that hold you still, lock your gaze and look your fill
Beyond the story, beyond the lies, truth is found in your own eyes.

Time reflects a story line
Here at once then gone in time
See it once then look away,
afraid to see what’s kept at bay

Tears of joy and tears of pain
Hidden in the window pane
Hold the gaze of eyes so deep
And see what’s there for you to keep

Something dark and something light reflected in the mirrors light
Take a risk and see your soul, stand your ground, let the truth be told
Break the chains that hold you still, lock your gaze and look your fill
Beyond the story, beyond the lies, truth is found in your own eyes.
