An Ever-Growing Wonder

I am the man in the mirror
My reflection, I aspire to be
In your reflection what do you see?
False fault or a masterpiece?

But a masterpiece starts with a single stroke
And empires start in an open field
(I am the man in the mirror)

But a masterpiece starts with a single stroke

If we could all be steadfast suddenly
Then we'd never build a life worth living
So let us restore each other

I am the man in the mirror
My reflection, I aspire to be
In your reflection what do you see?
False fault or a masterpiece?
I am the man in the mirror

The mirror

So let us restore each other
Not with haste, but gently
For an empty cup cannot fill another
A blank canvas will later be priceless
And the love that we build will be endless
Though we all stumble, we will not fall

I am the man in the mirror
My reflection, I aspire to be
In your reflection what do you see?
False fault or a masterpiece?
We will build masterpieces out of these faults
(I am the man in the mirror)

So when I stare back into my own eyes
I try to peer past, and try to understand
My imperfections compose my composure
And I can live with them and you will live by me
So let us restore each other, not with haste, but gently
For an empty cup, an empty cup cannot fill another
