From the recording Freedom Calling
Lyrics
Looked into the mirror, stranger cracked a smile
Stared into my eyes and said "Come with me for a while"
Took me on a journey through long forgotten dreams
My heartbeat filled the silence, my eyes released a bitter tasting stream
A sullen girl was singing a 16-bar in G
Playing spin the bottle on the rocks with J & B
Burning with desire, trapped in self-denial
Too afraid to live a life of disapproval
Mother's golden child
Set your pride aside, take a look inside
Who knows what gem you just might find
Hiding beneath all the lies
Tread through painful memories well into the night
The more years passed me by the less my lucky stars were bright
Came upon a crossroad, stopped dead in my tracks
Ahead the sun was rising and besought me to vow
Never to go back
Set your pride aside, take a look inside
Who knows what gem you just might find
Hiding beneath all the lies
Sorrow rained upon me throughout the final mile
Hades lurked behind me keeping up with every stride
Finally reached the mirror, stranger there still smiled
"Fear not what's to come," she said, "the worst is over
You and I survived!"
Set your pride aside, take a look inside
Who knows what gem you just might find
Hiding beneath all the lies
