Lyrics

Echo in the Mirror

(Lyrics - M. Novak, C. Webster, Music - M. Novak)

As life begins we are an echo in a mirror
As the years add on the image grows clearer
Our early thoughts are echoes of adults
Reflecting their manners, ideas and faults

Our tools for learning are mimic and clone
Will those thoughts be yours when you’re alone
The echoes continue in church and school
The reflections can be kind or cruel

CHORUS:

Are you an echo or free to be
Are you an echo that has to agree
Are you an echo or free to be
Are you an echo just a drop in the sea


Your thoughts now heard by those who listen
Thinking you’re important your ego will glisten
Birds of a feather peer out from their nest
Chirping the same song they think they’re the best

A few will think beyond the chorus
Will see the knowledge tree in the forest
No matter the path your still reflecting
You learn you must do what they’re expecting

CHORUS:

The voice becomes clear the echo is lost
Your now free to be regardless of cost
With age comes wisdom so they say
Still some need the reflection to be OK

Some are afraid to be different or strong
Their lives consist of needing to belong
Some stand tall and carefree
Are you the person that’s free to be
