Mirror mirror on the wall I see
Someone else staring back at me
Stripped down layers one by one
Lost my way but the journey's just begun
In the shadows I danced and played
Acted out scenes in a masquerade
But the mask slipped and I saw through
A glimpse of someone who felt so new
Here I am standing tall and brave
Breaking free from the thickest wave
True self pure and wild as fire
Rising up to life's desire
City lights tried to change my name
In the noise it's all the same
Beats and rhymes in the alleys of dreams
Where you find the truth unseen
Heartbeats echo down empty streets
Past lives leaving traces in the beats
Truth in the rhythm found its home
No more wandering far to roam
Here I am standing tall and brave
Breaking free from the thickest wave
True self pure and wild as fire
Rising up to life's desire
