do you look in the mirror to see
the person you dream you'd be
living the life that you hoped you'd lead
when you were young and naive and free?
or have you thought of a better plan
or left that to some other man
or given up because no one can
tell you a plan you can understand?
don't despair 'cause no one cares
that you missed on every goal
don't be sad that you never had
all the things you wished would make you whole
do you look in the mirror and see
the person you feared you'd be
when you decided you won't succeed
and no one told you they disagreed?
do you wonder what might have been
if you'd avoided that tragic sin
or got out when the rest stayed in
or fought back when they had you pinned?
don't despair that no one cares
that you missed on every goal
don't be sad that you never had
those feelings you wished would fill you full
and if you stick your head in a hole
you ain't never gonna find your soul
its not under the ground, its under your skin
where its been buried for so long
you gotta pull it back out again
ignore the warnings and just begin
you gotta clench your teeth and your fists
and just be strong
don't despair if no one cares
that you missed on every goal
don't be sad that you never had
those feelings you wished would fill you full
ignore the warnings and just begin...
