Old Man in the Mirror

He woke up this morning
Grabbed some breakfast and tea
He looked in the mirror
And said "I don't see me."
He said "Who is this man
I have become?"
He don't recognize the old man
Looking back at him

Many was the yesterday
Past gone by
Another day above ground
Is a beautiful gift
The gifts they are disguised
Don't take for granted
Or they'll pass you by
When they are gone
They are gone

Don't look back with regret
At what you should have done
Don't live life in anger
Or you'll overlook joy
Don't obsess with things
That you can't change
Be brave and change
The things you can
Be brave and change
The things you can

When he bears a heavy burden
He gets bogged down
The old man's not as patient
As he once was
The camel can only carry
So many of those little straws
His back gets broken
But he won't let you down

He said
"I don't have time left
To sit patiently
Waste my time trying to
Change their views."
He knows the joy's on the road
Sometimes it has many bumps
The old man tells himself
Sometimes enough is enough

Don't look back with regret
At what you should have done
Don't live life in anger
Or you'll overlook joy
Don't obsess with things
That you can't change
Be brave and change
The things you can
Be brave and change
The things you can
