A nightmare, long ago now
Forced me awake from the pain of my dreams
A late-night look in my heart
Unearthin' a lifetime of griefI yelled out "Why should I hide"
And there in the storm of my lies, said a prayer
Raced to the mirror to find
An immature child feelin' scaredFunny when you start to realize maybe you're not a boy anymore
And if I want to grow up, what am I waitin' for?Here in this mirror
Who do I see
Am I still a boy
Just playin' with toys
No that isn't meHere in this mirror
Could I be free
If I say goodbye
To all of the lies
I once believedCuz then one boy can
Grow into a man
HonestlyBlinded by visions of fear
Chasin' illusions that I'd never find
But those lies would all disappear
When one truthful moment was mineFunny when you start to realize maybe you're not the boy that you were
Finally fightin' to breathe, forever changed, forever sureThe boy in the mirror
Starin' at me
I think he knows
That I cannot grow
Until he leavesSo I'll break this mirror
Set his truth free
And I'll say goodbye
To that broken child
Cuz that's what I needAnd then one boy can
Grow into a man
HonestlyThere's not a moment to lose
Truth is the light for the wise
Every boy must face the time he must choose
To see his life with open eyesHere in the mirror
Who do I see
Am I still a boy
Just playin' with toys
No, that isn't meSo I'll break this mirror
And set myself free
I'll say goodbye
To all of the lies
I once believedSo now one boy can
Grow into a man
HonestlyNow one boy can
Grow into a man
Honestly
