Reflections of Persia (Live)

We'll scrub off the past 'til they're clean
One future is meant for one queen
Look one last time and say goodbye to who you see
Say hello to what we know you're meant to be

A reflection of perfection
A lovely figure and complexion
No objection to correction
You must be Persia's own reflection

Beauty is pain
Beauty is strain
Beauty is hurry up and wait (Be still)
A lady is grace (Be still and know)
A lady saves face
A lady knows her place

A scalding bath
Perfume for their skin
Eat to sustain but don't get too thin
A kiss of sun to keep them fair
And do something with their nails and their hair

A connection, good impression
Will be the key to your election
Your projection, his perception
Must be Persia's own reflection

How to make him see me
Bow with your knees (Stand out from the crowd)
Always say please (Eyes down, chin up) (Be still, be still and know)
Be the last thing that he sees (Be quiet, never loud)
It's not a time for weakness (A queen is true)
No more tears to shed (It could be you)
Could I really wear the crown upon my head? (If you're Persia through and through)

(The time is now) An obsession with progression
Will surely keep you from rejection (To show you how)
With each section and inspection
We steered you in the right direction
(We broke you down) A connection, good impression
Will be the key to your election
(To wear the crown) Your projection, his perception
You must be Persia's own reflection

I can hear them cheering (A picture of royalty)
He will love what he sees (Daughter of this country)
It's all been for this moment (A queen is born, not trained)
You are who and where you're meant to be
