Look at me
you may think you
see who I really am
but you'll never know me
every day
It's as if I play a part
now I see
If I wear a mask
I can fool the world
but I cannot fool my heart.

Who is that girl I see
staring straight back at me?
when will my reflection show
who I am inside?

I am now
In a world where
I have to hide my heart
and what I believe in
but somehow
I will show the world
what's inside my heart
and be loved for who I am.

Who is that girl I see
staring straight back at me?
why is my reflection
someone I don't know?
must I pretend that I'm
someone else for all time?
when will my reflection show
who I am inside?

There's a heart that
must be free to fly
that burns with a need
to know the reason why
why must we all conceal
what we think
how we feel
must there be a secret me
I'm forced to hide?

I won't pretend that I'm
someone else
for all time
when will my reflection show
who I am inside?
when will my reflection show
who I am inside?
