Clocks and Mirrors

As a clock ticks on
The world is asking what's taking so long
It says that time is running out
And we won't be young
and we won't be young forever
It's so easy
To be blind to your beauty
When you're constantly being shown all that is wrong
Take a step back
And you'll see
They can't tell you who you're supposed to be

And these clocks
These clocks and mirrors
They control all that we are
Take a hold and raise the bar

Before you know it
Your life will be half over
And you won't recognize yourself
Take a look back
Don't let them tell you who you're supposed to be

And these clocks
These clocks and mirrors
They control all that we are
Take a hold and raise the bar
But no longer
Gonna stand silently by because we know that what's inside is what counts

And you are beautiful
Age is just a number
And true beauty is what's inside
And you are beautiful
And age is just a number
And true beauty is what's inside of you
So don't let it get to you
And they don't understand

Why we're throwing clocks
And breaking mirrors
We'll defy those limitations
And we're gonna live our lives
