Hold a light up to the mirror, bring your face a little nearer

Won’t you tell me ‘bout the person that you see?

Is your life just what you wanted?

Do the lines across your forehead tell a story from a book of memories?

You don’t have to know the pathways of the soul

You only need to know yourself

So many years have gone by,

Hold your truth to the light ‘til the tears fill your eyes

What is this, if not real life?

Painted by your own mind

After all the goodbyes

With good friends by your side

It’s a virtue to be humble, and I hope you keep your heart full

‘Cause the journey isn’t just for you and me

Where one life ends, begins another

And I hope our sons and daughters

Get to live a future that they can believe

It doesn’t have to make sense to you

If it’s another path they choose

‘Cause no two are ever the same

Oh, you and I, we have lived so many different lives

Walking on the same old path that we’ve always known

Oh, how we try, we could look forever but never find

The only thing that we’ve had all along

Another year has gone by

Know the truth, shine a light in the corner of your mind

(So many years gone by)

(Hold your truth up to the sky)
