Look At Yourself ballad

[Verse 1] When you strive for the crown and the world calls your name, With your dreams in your hands and you ride to the fame, You stand on the mountaintop, feeling the thrill, But deep in your heart, can you face all the chill? [Chorus] So go to the mirror, take a long, hard stare, Look at yourself, are you truly aware? The man that you see is the one who will stay, Honesty's calling, there's no other way. [Verse 2] With the applause in the air and your heart full of pride, Do you navigate through all the masks that you hide? You’ve conquered the battles, you’ve played every part, But can you confront what’s inside your heart? [Chorus] So go to the mirror, take a long, hard stare, Look at yourself, are you truly aware? The man that you see is the one who will stay, Honesty's calling, there's no other way. [Bridge] It's not for your mother, your brother or wife, Their opinions won't matter in your daily strife, It’s the fellow in the glass who holds your fate tight, Did you stand up for truth when you lost the fight? [Verse 3] You may carve out your legacy, build towers so high, While the man in the glass looks on with a sigh, For fame is a shadow; it fades away fast, What you see in the mirror is what’s meant to last. [Chorus] So go to the mirror, take a long, hard stare, Look at yourself, are you truly aware? The man that you see is the one who will stay, Honesty's calling, there's no other way. [Outro] So examine your heart when the world goes to sleep, In the silence, you'll find the promises you keep, Look at yourself with a view that's sincere, The man in the glass is your true pioneer. Look at yourself, face the truth, be brave, For the one who counts most is the man you must save. Lyrics by Peter Dale Windbrow, Peter Chin P.Eng, Songer AI Music by Songer AI 3rd May 2026
