Reflection

by Christina Aguilera

Album: Mulan

Look at me
You may think you see
who I really am
But you'll never know me
Ev'ry day
It's as if I play a part
Now I see
If I wear a mask
I can fool the world
But I cannot fool
my heart

Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me ?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside ?

I am now
In a world where I have to
hide my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow
I will show the world
What's inside my heart
And be loved for who I am

Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me ?
Why is my reflection
someone I don't know ?
Must I pretend that I'm
Someone else for all time ?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside ?

There's a heart that must be free to fly
That burns with a need to know the reason why

Why must we all conceal
What we think
How we feel ?
Must there be a secret me
I'm forced to hide ?

I won't pretend that I'm
Someone else
For all time
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside ?
