Reflection

He wondered why, there was no warm embrace
Why they were cold as ice, it brought a chill upon his face
As he sat at his desk, with his chin up high
As they give their best, he told them nothing but white lies
RELEASE
If you?re wondering why the people around you
Behave the way they do
If you want to change the way things are
It starts from the inside, inside of you
CHORUS
Reflection reveals the world outside of you
Reflection take a look from the outside, into your eyes
Reflection
Sun comes up brings the light of day
Just enough for everybody to have a taste
As you rise up to see the light
Do you reach out and give it to someone with a troubled life
BRIDGE
There will come a day
When we will testify about this
Will you hide your face
Or look with pride back on it
He always gave his best, was a warm and gentle man
Treated them all with respect, didn?t take the tragedy to teach him that
As he returned from his extended leave of absence
They took their turns, To tell him how much they missed his laughter
RELEASE
CHORUS
