Lyrics
As I see everything looking, at the reflections of my life
In the loneliness and confusion,
I please others not myself.
I look in mirror to see the impressions that I gave
From my brother to sister and mother to mister
Its me I need to save
Chorus
Reflections
Reflections of my story
Reflections
Come towards me
Making the script so right and careful
Authentic in my own way
Moving in and out of shadows
Making masks everyday
Look back at my history.
I see mystery.
Telling lies to hide and fake victory.
Navigating me here
Away from fear
It Time
Time to be me.
Chorus
Oh, these Reflections.
Reflections of my story
Reflections
Come towards me
Middle 8
When I look across the valley
And review my many fields.
Everywhere I roam the light, (the light)
Will always guide me home.
Chorus
Its time
Time to be me
To fade
Come sing my song.
Be you be me and sing along
In the loneliness and confusion,
I please others not myself.
I look in mirror to see the impressions that I gave
From my brother to sister and mother to mister
Its me I need to save
Chorus
Reflections
Reflections of my story
Reflections
Come towards me
Making the script so right and careful
Authentic in my own way
Moving in and out of shadows
Making masks everyday
Look back at my history.
I see mystery.
Telling lies to hide and fake victory.
Navigating me here
Away from fear
It Time
Time to be me.
Chorus
Oh, these Reflections.
Reflections of my story
Reflections
Come towards me
Middle 8
When I look across the valley
And review my many fields.
Everywhere I roam the light, (the light)
Will always guide me home.
Chorus
Its time
Time to be me
To fade
Come sing my song.
Be you be me and sing along

Bio
I am the lyricist for The Kirk . We have reignited our songwriting after many years and are starting to release material that is varied but mostly with a message and with an electronic production. The lyric below is one that I think fit a female vocal with a message again to be independent to be me !
