The Man In the Mirror
Shuffle out of bed and I struggle to my feet
The night has left me heavy but sighing great relief
Stumble to the mirror afraid of what I see
The man in the mirror staring back at me
I remember when he was just a boy asking many questions
Life was so confusing every answer many reasons
Now the days grow shorter and I see age upon my face
Scares me half to death no more amazing grace
After all the trials of life and happy times have gone
In spite that fact I messed it up I have survived it all
Through age has come true beauty now I can understand
That man that’s in the mirror is me life’s meaning I comprehend
