Lyrics

The Man In the Mirror

I see a man with the concept of a stranger
I see a man who no one's really seen
He lives his life safely away from danger
Yet I spot a glimpse of fire underneath.

I see his hardened surface with no scratches
I look him in the eyes to see the truth
His mouth is strict and grownup. It matches
The clenched teeth he's bitten since his youth
When they took away his dreams and heroes.

Chorus:
And as I see this man in the mirror
I feel my life fading away
I want to free the man in the mirror
So I close my eyes and pray.

I see a man whose lonely soul has wandered
Nightmares of emptiness haunt him at night
I watch him now, his dignity they've squandered
But yet they can't take away his fight.

(chorus)

Promises made are now forsaken
Words that fade
But dead and gone is my yesterday

I seek Your face, I come alive
Once a victim to myself
But now I know I'll survive.

(chorus)

I want to slay my inner terror
So I close my eyes and pray
that I receive my real name.
What's my real name?
