These pictures of time, Laid out before me.

The Choices I make every day.

These open wounds of mine, Play out before me,

How much more must I take?



I Stare in the mirrior and wait for it to change,

But my reflection is always the same,

I watch the tears fall as I stare myself down,

But this face staring back has no frown,

I stare in the mirrior and wonder why,

This man in the mirror continues to cry.



Promises I've been breaking, and risks I have taken,

It all plays out once again.

Back in the days, when the world wasn't the same

When I was convinced I could win



I Stare in the mirrior and wiat for the change,

But my reflection always stays the same,

I watch the tears fall as I stare myself down,

But this face staring back has no frown,

I stare in the mirrior and wonder why,

This man that I see continues to cry.



She's comming back to say hello again,

And this face that will greet her has a chance to win,

But how can he rise when all he knows is how to fall,

How strong must he be to break through these walls?



I stare in the mirrior and wait for the change,

But my reflection is always the same,

I watch the tears fall as I stare myself down,

And I see the tears break before they hit the ground

I stare in the mirrior and wonder why,

This man I see has so much pain inside.



This reflection is all I know

But Everything changes when you know where to go,

I cry out to the Father to spare my heavy load,

So that the reflection's story will be told.



And suddenly everything begins change,

And this face staring back at me now has no pain,

So he thanks God for taking it away,

While looking in the mirror at himself today



I stare in the mirror and wait for the change

Suddenly This reflection doesn't look the same

See how this reflection changes.

I stand before my God without any shame.

Goodbye to everything that has gotten in the way

And my whole reflection has completed a change
