[clearly spoken word, reflecting tone]
Staring at the mirror
Wiping steam off the glass
My reflection starts to focus
Revealing pieces of the past
It’s in that quiet moment
When everything feels near
That we shift from who we were
To the truth that now appears
[Verse 1, Spoken word, soft beat fades in with intensity]
You see…
There comes a point where you realize
Your childish dreams were just a draft
And now?
It’s that final version we’re writing
And with that
Comes a chosen path
It’s like looking in the mirror
And seeing the little man with an older man’s face
One saying goodbye to all the childish dreams
While the adult…
Is stepping into a new, scary place
[Pre-Chorus, heavy bass and strings]
You see, It’s not about losing yourself
But rather, it’s growing out of sin
The mirror’s just an open window
To show us the places where we have been
[chorus catchy hook]
This is the awakening
It’s the mirror’s gentle truth
Where we let go of the things
That held us back
As we brake free from our youth
It’s the turning point
The quiet shift that most people always miss
This is the awakening
It starts right here & looks like this
[Verse 2, Spoken, more confident cadence]
So we stand there in the silence
With the echoes in our head of the past
Knowing every choice we now make
That shape those Christmas ghosts, that I pray depart at last
It’s not about being perfect
It’s more about learning how to grow
You see the awakening is the journey
Which the mirror guides to help us know
[Chorus catchy hook returns]
This is the awakening
It’s the human souls gentle truth
Where we let go of the things,
That held us back
As we brake free from our youth
It’s in that turning point
The quiet shift that most people always miss
This is the awakening
And it starts right here - and looks like this
[Verse 3, Calm lyrical]
Now the mirror shows the future
And it’s written in our eyes
All the lessons that we’ve learned
Become the fire that makes us rise
It’s not about the giant steps
It’s the little moves we make
The awakening’s the moment
We’re fully wide awake
[Bridge, Stripped bac]
The awakening’s mirror
A mirror reflecting me
Watching you
As we begin to see the world differently
[Verse 4, Hopeful tone, bright backing synths]
And as we walk away from that mirror
With a smile on our face
We know the awakening’s not just a moment
But it’s a lifelong race
It’s the journey of becoming
It’s the bumpy road we should embrace
For this is the awakening
And we each have our own life to face
You see, It’s not about losing yourself
But rather, it’s about growing out of sin
The mirror’s just an open window
To show us the places where we have been
[Chorus (Final), Full energy, uplifting harmonies]
This is the awakening
It’s the mirror’s gentle truth
Where we let go of the things
That held us back
As we brake free from our youth
It’s the turning point
The quiet shift that most people always miss
This is the awakening
It starts right here and looks exactly like this
