Composed by：Gerrit Welmers/Michael Lowry/Samuel T. Herring/William Cashion

Spent a lifetime in the mirror

Always afraid of what someone else would say

I wanted to be strong

So it took some time to tell you

But you knew from the things I'd say

Why do you say that babe

You're my beautiful you're my heart

And you're beautiful just this way

When I took the time to tell you

You took the time to listen to me too

Now I see I see today

I see I see my face

Spent a lifetime in the mirror

Picking apart what I couldn't change

But I saw my mother my father my brother

In my face

In my face

Most the time it was the only thing that kept me going

Other times just a grip of shame

You came along and showed me who I am

What it means

To be loved

To be one

To be loved

To feel some

Now I see I see tomorrow

I see I see tomorrow

And You're my beautiful

And you're beautiful just this way

When I took the time to tell you

You took the time to listen to me too

Now I see I see tomorrow

I see I see tomorrow

I spent a lifetime in the mirror

Picking apart what I couldn't change

Now I see I see tomorrow

I see I see tomorrow

I see I see tomorrow

I see I see tomorrow

What you saw today
