Old Man in the Mirror

Lyrics

He woke up this morning, grabbed some breakfast and tea
He looked in the mirror, said “I don’t see me.”
He said “Who is this man that I have become?”
He don’t recognize the old man, looking back at him

Many was the yesterday, past gone by
Another day above ground is a beautiful gift
The gifts they are disguised, don’t take for granted
Or they’ll pass you by, when they are gone, they are gone

Don’t look back with regret, for what you should have done
Don’t live life in anger or you’ll overlook joy
Don’t obsess with things that you can’t change
Be brave and change the things that you can
Be brave and change the things that you can

When he bears a heavy burden he gets bogged down
The old man’s not as patient as he once was
The camel can only carry so many of these little straws
His back gets broken, but he won’t let you down

He said “I don’t have time left to sit patiently
Waste my time trying to change their views.”
He knows the joy’s on the road, sometimes it has many bumps
The old man tells himself, sometimes enough is enough

Don’t look back with regret, for what you should have done
Don’t live life in anger or you’ll overlook joy
Don’t obsess with things that you can’t change
Be brave and change the things that you can
Be brave and change the things that you can
