Reflections |
I look in the mirror and look around,
I don’t like the way this sounds,
There are people that always hate,
They Don’t have a productive fate. |
|
I look in the mirror and look around,
There are many cultures I have found,
Spanish, Italian, and Asian,
Or even French, African, and Caucasian.
|
|
I look in the mirror and look around,
We have things in common like the way we sound,
When people think color matters,
All dreams start to shatter.
|
|
No matter what raises your head high,
As you gaze into the faithful sky,
All that matters is that you are you,
When worst comes to worst, be true.
