0:09Look at me
0:12You may think you see
0:14Who I really am
0:17But you'll never know me
0:19Every day, is as if I play a part
0:27Now I see if I wear a mask
0:32I can fool the world
0:34But I cannot fool my heart
0:42Who is that girl I see
0:47Starin' straight back at me?
0:52When will my reflection show
0:57Who I am inside?
1:05I am now
1:07In a world where I have to hide my heart
1:12And what I believe in
1:15But somehow I will show the world
1:19What's inside my heart
1:22And be loved for who I am
1:29Who is that girl I see
1:35Starin' straight back at me?
1:40Why is my reflection
1:44Someone I don't know?
1:50Must I pretend that I'm
1:55Someone else for all time?
2:00When will my reflection show
2:05Who I am inside?
2:09There's a heart that must be free to fly
2:17That burns with a need to know the reason why
2:28Why must we all conceal
2:32What we think, how we feel
2:37Must there be a secret me
2:42I'm forced to hide?
2:47I won't pretend that I'm
2:53Someone else for all time
2:57When will my reflection show
3:03Who I am inside?
3:10When will my reflection show
3:15Who I am inside?
3:20♪
