Oh, what happens when you look into the mirror
Who do you see standing there?
Is he a young man holding back a tear
Is he holding in all his fears?

Is he the lost child in a world of unkindness
Is he washed down on the ranging stream?
Is he alone now in a world full of silence
'Cause all the emptiness you can see?

But I see the fire in your eye
One day you'll give this world the lie
For there's no one here who could place their hand upon you
And you are strong, it won't be long
'Till you will sing this world a new song
And fill the day with light
And you will set the night on fire
It will come, just hold on.

Oh, come away now from the mirror
It tells you lies
It shows you what they've taught you to see

And if you really need
To see what they really see
In my eyes you'll see reflected all that you can be

You are the greatest thing
That I have ever seen
You are my brilliant one
Hold on to your dreams
