| The Person In The Mirror January 11, 2001 Justene Martin |
There's a person in the mirror You need to get to know She's been waiting for attention, And she really needs you so. She know's a lot about you Some things she could reveal If you'd take the time to ask her She'd tell you how you feel. She's never there for very long Because you turn your back As soon as you have checked her out To see how much you lack. But she can tell you all about the times That you choose to forget And she knows you're not a failure And that your not finished yet. She's asking you to pause awhile Before your busy day To just reflect and speak to her, See she was made that way. Her only purpose is to show The person looking back The real true person standing there And get her back on track. Yes, she knows how bad you're hurting And how you run away Whenever anyone gets close But she will always stay. Just waiting there year after year Until you get it right She really can't go anywhere Til you stand up and fight. So she is waiting patiently To tell you you're not bad You've seen her through the other eyes She says "Girl you've been had". There's better ways of doing this Than to run away in fear. But you've got to stop and listen To the lady in the mirror. |
