Boy in the Mirror

Little boy in the mirror
How did you get here from there
I know the path wasn’t all grass
I know you fell on you ass
More than a time or two

But most importantly you got up
most importantly you got free  you’re no longer a prisoner
You’re no longer enslaved enslaved to the things of old
You have fought for freedom
You have fought to be the best
Stand out from the rest

Little boy in the mirror
Now that you have arrived
Now that you have survived
Was the walk worth the steps
Or were your dreams misplaced
Your time a waste

Will you ever really know
Will the scars cease to show
The pain you’ve suffered
The joy you come to show
The freedom you come to know

Have you rejoiced where you are
Your strength has carried you
Showed you what to and not do
Your journey although rough
Showed you to be tough
Little boy in the mirror
