  • I'll be your mirror
    Reflect what you are, in case you don't know
    I'll be the wind, the rain and the sunset
    The light on your door to show that you're home

    When you think the night has seen your mind
    That inside, you're twisted and unkind
    Let me stand to show that you are blind
    Please put down your hands
    'Cause I see you

    I find it hard to believe you don't know
    The beauty you are
    But if you don't, let me be your eyes
    A hand to your darkness, so you won't be afraid

    When you think the night has seen your mind
    That inside you're twisted and unkind
    Let me stand to show that you are blind
    Please put down your hands
    'Cause I see you

    I'll be your mirror (reflect what you are)
    I'll be your mirror (reflect what you are)
    I'll be your mirror (reflect what you are)
    I'll be your mirror (reflect what you are)
