Look At Yourself folk

[Verse 1] When you get what you want, and the world calls you king, With fortune and glory, it’s a marvelous thing, But when the lights fade, and the crowd walks away, Go to the mirror, and hear what it may say. [Chorus] Look at yourself, oh, don't turn away, The truth lies within, in the words you convey, The man in the glass is the one you must face, He alone holds your heart in this challenging race. [Verse 2] You fought hard for your dreams, you’ve climbed every hill, But peace comes only when you’re honest and still, For the man in the mirror, he’s your truest friend, His voice will guide you through life’s winding blend. [Chorus] Look at yourself, oh, don't turn away, The truth lies within, in the words you convey, The man in the glass is the one you must face, He alone holds your heart in this challenging race. [Bridge] It isn’t your mother, or father, or wife, Their judgments can falter in the journey of life, It’s the fellow who gazes back at you every day, Whose opinion matters in every possible way. [Verse 3] You might boast of your honors, and wear your crown high, But if you can’t face the truth, then the reason’s a lie, Like Jack Honor chiseled, and thought he was grand, But the man in the glass sees your heart, understands. [Chorus] Look at yourself, oh, don't turn away, The truth lies within, in the words you convey, The man in the glass is the one you must face, He alone holds your heart in this challenging race. [Verse 4] So rise with the dawn, and take time to reflect, In the silence of morning, in the life you select, For the man in the glass knows the truth you can’t hide, With love and respect, let him be your guide. [Outro] So stand tall before him, without doubt or fear, The man in the glass will always be near, With honesty and courage, walk your own way, And look at yourself, live proud every day.
