Man In The Mirror

words and music W.H. Weckel c 2006

A frightened little boy
he doesn't like the dark
he cries out in the blackened night
Daddy wont you come, Daddy wont you come
Daddy wont you come

He did what little boys might do
when they've had a bad dream
to scared to get up and to run
and go and ask for help
Daddy wont you come, Daddy wont you come
Daddy wont you come

He didn't think to grab his teddy
he din't think at all

Most little boys grow into men
yet some remain afraid
terrified of everything
what more is there to say
Daddy wont you come, Daddy wont you come
Daddy wont you come

But something changed inside this man
his little boy wants help
and like a child he will persist
he has so much to tell
Daddy wont you come, Daddy wont you come
Daddy wont you come

He didn't think that he was ready
but now he's standing tall

Where are you going to
hide fromt the pain
turn and face the wind
it's how it must begin to
unravel your personal shame
like a runner face the wind
and you'll be getting stronger
you've been thru so much hell
as far as I can tell loves
the only way to right the wrong

Man in the mirror
and my lifes getting so much clearer now
but I still have to figure it out somehow
Man in the mirror
I've gotten so much nearer to what its about
it makes no difference to me how I get out
and I'm gonna get out

So the story goes
the boy becomes a man
his Daddy now is dead and gone
he finally undersatands, finally understands
finally undersatands

He likes his favourite dish spaghetti
he screens all of his calls

I'm the man in the mirror
and my lifes getting so much clearer now
but I still have to figure it out somehow
Man in the mirror
I've gotten so much nearer to what its about
it makes no difference to me how I get out
cause I'm gonna get out
