Man In The Mirror

The man in the mirror
He keeps getting nearer 
But I am not moving
The man in the back street 
Is holding a track meet
But I will not run
Someplace inside you
A seed has been born
You've got to watch it grow
Someplace inside you
A river is waiting to flow
Will you let it go

Those voices you're hearing
Are never worth fearing
They're only inside you
They'll tempt you and taunt you
They'll help you and haunt you 
But don't try to hide

Sometimes the sun will be
Right at your shoulder
Helping you keep your stride
Sometimes you might have to
Give up a piece of your pride
Have you even tried

The man in the mirror
He keeps getting nearer 
But I am not moving
The man in the back street 
Is holding a track meet
But I will not run
Someplace inside you
A seed has been born
You've got to watch it grow
Someplace inside you
A river is waiting to flow
Will you let it go
