Reflections

I look in the mirror
 And all I can see
 Is my mother's face staring back at me
 I guess I'll grow older
 Than I am today
 But inside I'll always stay the same
 The days they are flying
 Past me so fast
 What can I do to make them last
 The dreams I once harboured
 Have sailed long ago
 Now I'm just fighting on alone
 Would you believe me if I said
 You still look the same as you did that day
 But are we the same as we were that day
 We lost our edge and the will to play
 I look in the mirror and I see
 A strangers face gazing back at me
 When you look at me what do you see
 I walk on the wind now
 I follow a path
 Will I find a resting place at last
 My skin has grown thinner
 See through at best
 But I still wear my heart
 Outside my chest
 Would you believe me if I said
 You still look the same as you did that day
 But we're not the same as we were that day
 We lost our edge and the will to play
 I look in the mirror and I see
 A strangers face gazing back at me
 When you look at me what do you see
