The Woman in the Mirror

Lyrics

She caught her reflection in the kitchen glow
Hair pulled back but her eyes still show
The house was silent the day was through
Yet a whisper asked where are you

She used to dance with no set rhyme
Barefoot spinning through her prime
Now she moves through roles so tight
Carrying others day and night

She did it all just like they said
Strong and steady never fled
But deep inside the time has flown
Since she felt like she was home

Come home come home again
Start with self-care my friend
The mirror waits so patiently
For her to see what she can be
Come home come home again
Start with self-care my friend

It wasn’t sudden it crept so slow
Years of yes with nowhere to go
Soccer games and aging kin
Holding grief she held within

She became what they all required
A steady flame but quietly tired
Her own heart knocked in the night
Soft as stars without their light

She thought self-care was selfish pride
But exhaustion pulled her aside
She doesn’t have to fade away
To prove her love or save the day

Come home come home again
Start with self-care my friend
The mirror waits so patiently
For her to see what she can be
Come home come home again
Start with self-care my friend

Come home come home again
Start with self-care my friend
The mirror waits so patiently
For her to see what she can be
Come home come home again
Start with self-care my friend.
