Man In the Mirror

The man in the mirror, He's not me.
That man in the mirror, He's who I should be.
He does not feel my pain, but then, how could he?
He cannot wear my shame, and then, why should he?

The man in the mirror, He's not me.
That man in the mirror, He's who I should be.
He stands with confidence so everyone can see.
He looks so sure, so strong; not weak like me.

The man in the mirror, He's not me.
That man in the mirror, He's who I should be.
When the man in the mirror is looking at me,
I wonder... Who does he see?
