Do you like what you see,
when you look in the mirror ?
Or does the image just bring a tear.

Does the person that you see,
just want to be free of the
guilt for what you have
done to yourself, and of all
of the things that you didn't
do when you had the chance
to dance.

Just missed by a fraction you
tell the image, and why did
you let it slip away, why didn't
you take action ?
Were you thinking that the chance
might be back someday ?

Tell the image," the time is now,
do what you have to do,
to get it right.
Now is all that we have, don't
live in the past, let it shape you,
and give you a direction.

Learn to love what you see in the
mirror and this will set you free.
Try to understand what you need
to do, in order to love others.

Our time here is so short,
listen to what you hear,
and get rid of your fears.

Hold life to be dear, and
let it be clear that it all is
up to you, what you have to do.

Learn to respect what you see
in the mirror, and be thankful
that you are able to understand
the image that is looking at you.
