I hold no brief for life's grand scheme,

Or what we're meant to be,

But one thing I am certain of,

And that, my friend, is me.

 

When all else is fading fast,

And love's a memory,

I find support from just one thought,

My friend, I still have me.

 

And if you pause and think a while,

I'm sure you will agree,

That if you lose all else besides,

You can still say "I have me".

 

So gaze into your mirror friend,

Some comfort there you'll see;

Familiar eyes will answer yours:

Live on...you still have me!
