Kiss the Mirror (lyrics)
sitting alone
what is going through your head
you’re lost in the past
over words that were said
you’re done trying to take on
the whole world outside
and now you have grown
oh so tired inside
but i say to you
you have made it this high
though the thin air feels empty
above all the lies
when it’s time for loving
then start with yourself
kiss the mirror
love who you are
kiss the mirror
don’t you know that you’re a star
open your heart
to the one that is you
it’s the most precious thing
that you ever will do
when you’re feeling sad
and don’t know what to
do the one in the mirror
will guide you on through
saying i am your lover
and you are my light
embrace your reflection
and dance with delight
when it’s time for loving
then start with yourself
kiss the mirror
love who you are
kiss the mirror
don’t you know that you’re a star
samprati hum (i am here and now)
sampoorna hum (i am whole)
krtajna hum (i am grateful)
karuna hum (i am compassion)
ananda hum (i am bliss)
om shanti hum (i am peace)
aham prema (i am divine love)
sitting alone
in the dark of the night
the eyes in the mirror
are a beacon of light
love yourself
it’s never too late to start
to look in the mirror
and sing from the heart
singing I am your lover
and you are my star
will you not recognize
just who you are
when it’s time for loving then start with yourself
aham prema, aham prema
