When I look around I find it so astounding

We put up with all this shit

Almost everyday we ride a tidal wave

And some are washed away with it

You can fight it if you try

If you stop and wonder why

If you stand up for what you believe

There’s no end to what you can achieve

If you look back tomorrow you’ll see

Mirrors of me

We spend far too long not being what we want to

Doing things we’d rather not

Never satisfied, but the truth’s inside

Not in the things we crave and haven’t got

You can change the way you live

Instead of taking you can give a little bit of you

And stand up for what you believe

There’s no end to what you can achieve

If you look back tomorrow you’ll see

Mirrors of me

Instrumental

If you stand up for what you believe

There’s no end to what you can achieve

If you look back tomorrow you’ll see

Stand up for what you believe

Don’t stay when it’s better to leave

And life will be better you’ll see

Mirrors of me

The Story of 'Mirrors Of Me'

Mirrors Of Me

Looking back on this one I can see that it is a song to my future self. At the time I thought I was writing generally good advice for everyone, but now I can see that I acted on my own advice and life is certainly much better!

Many of us get trapped in the stereotypical soap operas of modern life, and don't always say what we realy think and believe. But rather than moaning about it all to your mates down the pub, "putting the world to rights" as they say, you can actually 'stand up for what you believe' and change your life.

Look in the mirror and see if you can see your future self looking back at you. Are they smiling, or shaking their head in pity?!

When you change things for the better you can look back at your past self from the other side of the looking glass and give them a big smile! :D

(There's a possibility that the title for this one may have come from a session with Cliff Coates so if that's the case I acknowledge it here)
