i woke up one morning
in the mirror staring at me
i couldn't believe what i see
yes, it's me
but not what i wanna see

gone is the innocence and purity
that once was so true in me
here a sinful man i see
yes that's me
but not what i wanna se

i promise myself that very day
that good old me to see again
watching every step that i take
those bad mistakes i mustn't make

along the way trials i meet
often stumbling to my feet
"stand up" , "never give up"
"sort this out" , "straighten up"

now the image although blur
slowly clearing up i see again
it's that old me in the mirror
coming back still a little faint

awaiting the day i wake to see
in the mirror staring at me
once again the good old me
that me i wanna see...

Sometimes it is hard to look at ourselves in the mirror. This reminded me of the passage in the Bible that says something to the effect 'a righteous man stumbles seven times and gets up'. We just have to keep getting back up!
