"The man in the mirror"
Who is this man in the mirror
I whipe the face to see him clearer
I see now looking back at me an image of the man I used to be
Wanting, wishing, hoping, waiting, fearing, loving, and sometimes hating trying my best to fit in
Wanting my life to begin everyday passes me by
the way way I lived was one big lie but that was then and this is now
My life is better and I know how it all changed
When I met you the way I was in now through
My heart is filled with love and peace
My guilt was lifted on wings of a dove
When I think of you I start to smile
I know now it was all worth while
You opened my eyes, my heart, and soul and now I have a brand new goal
To start our path of life together and live with happiness in our lives forever, to be beside you when I wake and prove to you that I'm not fake
Until my goal is fully complete my weary bones will never sleep
So back to the man in the mirror, one that I hope you can see clearer
This man is yours forever and true
Because I will always love you till my life is through
