 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

The image I saw reversed on the wall 
Spoke to me 
Reflected my hopes and told horiscopes 
Of things to be 
I promised myself I’d be someone else 
Long before now 
The mirror of youth distorted the truth 
Weighed me down 

Everything I thought I had to be 
Was a childish charade 
Just a myth that I made 
To look outside myself 
Everything I thought I had to be 
Was a thousand-foot wall 
Since nobody at all 
Is everything I thought that I had to be 

I dabbled in schemes and astronaut dreams 
At age twelve 
We all need to see a hero-to-be 
In ourselves 
An unfounded pride will stumble and slide 
Into guilt 
A sense of defeat 
The ghost of deceit 
Haunts me still.
