Mirror

Mirror, mirror on the wall; have I got it?
Cause mirror, you've always told me who I am
I'm finding it's not easy to be perfect
So sorry, you won't define me
Sorry, you don't own me

Who are you to tell me,
That I'm less than what I should be?
Who are you?
Who are you?
I don't need to listen
To the list of things I should do
I won't try,
I won't try

Mirror, I am seeing a new reflection
I'm looking into the eyes of He who made me
And to Him I have beauty beyond compare
I know He defines me

Who are you to tell me
That I'm less than what I should be?
Who are you?
Who are you?
I don't need to listen
To the list of things I should do
I won't try,
I won't try

You don't define me (You don't define me)
You don't define me (You don't define me)
You don't define me (You don't define me)
You don't define me (You don't define me)

Who are you to tell me
That I'm less than what I should be
Who are you?
Who are you?
I don't need to listen
To the list of things I should do
I won't try,
No, I won't try

Selfish

Life goes on from the dusk to the dawn.
From old song to new song.
And you find yourself on the path you don't want to be on.
I sing songs I don't like to strangers every night.
They don't know me at all and it's wrong. Mmm.

Sometimes I wish I never quit smoking,
I had meaningful conversations back then.
Don't think I'll ever stop drinking because of that.
So fill your cup and spill your guts this second's all we have.

And if the tears come you should own them,
you should wear each one with pride
Cause I've been praying for so long,
they were rolled down from my own eyes.
Everyday I try to look at the bright side.

I guess that I'm selfish for thinking about myself.

Time stops a husband is taking.
A two week old infant, with no father to raise him,
Watch him become a man.
In the worst of my struggles seem to slip through my hands.
So mother would you take this advice?
There are some of us here who would like you to cry.

And if the tears come could you own them,
could you wear each one with pride?
Cause we've been praying for so long,
they were rolled down from our own eyes.
Everyday I try to look at the bright side.

I guess that I'm selfish for thinking about myself.
I guess that I'm selfish for thinking about myself.
Yeah, I guess that I'm selfish for thinking about myself.

Obsession

What can I do with my obsession?
With the things I cannot see
Is there madness in my being?
Is it wind that blows the trees?
Sometimes You're further than the moon
Sometimes You're closer than my skin
And You surround me like a winter fog
You've come and burned me with a kiss

And my heart burns for You
And my heart burns

And I'm so filthy with my sin
I carry pride like a disease
You know I'm stubborn God
and I'm longing to be close
You burn me deeper than I know
I feel lonely without hope
I feel desperate without vision
You wrap around me like a winter coat
You come and free me like a bird

And my heart burns for You
And my heart burns for You
