Song Lyrics

The man in the mirror
He keeps getting nearer
But I am not moving
The man in the backstreet
Is holding a track meet
But I will not run.

Someplace inside you a
Seed has been born
You`ve got to watch it grow
Someplace inside you
A river is waiting to flow
Will you let it go?

Those voices you`re hearing
Are never worth fearing
They`re only inside you
They`ll tempt you and taunt you
They`ll help you and haunt you
But don`t try to hide.

Sometimes the sun will be
Right at your shoulder
Helping you keep your stride
Sometimes you might have to give up
A piece of your pride
Have you even tried?

The man in the mirror
He keeps getting nearer
But I am not moving
The man in the backstreet
Is holding a trackmeet
But I will not run.

Someplace inside you a
Seed has been born
You`ve got to watch it grow
Someplace inside you
A river is waiting to flow
Will you let it go?

Dan Fogelberg
