The man in the mirror

No longer looks like me

His best years are behind him

There's nothing more to see 

His daughter is a woman

With family of her own

The years now seem to fade away

Into the bleak unknown

Although I'll keep on dreamin'

Of better things to come

Sometimes I feel like runnin' free

Into the rising sun

A slither of a silhouette 

Against a sea of gold

Off to seek those youthful dreams 

Still nestled in my soul

 

But there's a smile that lights the room

A hand that fits in mine

I know, will always be there

'til the end of our time

 

There's a roof above our heads

And food upon our table

And friends & family visit

Whenever they are able

 

Laughter still frequents the air

Hugs and kisses reign

My daughter's smile still lifts me up

With a love I can't explain

 

So as I watch the sunrise

I no longer want to flee

For all I have, is all I am

And all I am is me.
