Though I didn't watch this Disney film, I like this song very much.. Lea Salonga sang the song in the film, but Christina Aguilera got her first break releasing a more complete version of the same song.. and the lyrics speaks to me in ways that you cannot imagine...
Reflection
from Mulan (1998)
Look at me
You may think you see who I really am
But you'll never know me
Every day it's as if I play a part
Now I see
If I wear a mask I can fool the world
But I cannot fool my heart
Who is that girl I see staring straight back at me?
When will my reflection show who I am inside?
I am now
In a world where I have to hide my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow
I will show the world what's inside my heart
And be loved for who I am
Who is that girl I see staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection someone I don't know?
Must I pretend that I'm someone else for all time?
When will my reflection show who I am inside?
There's a heart that must be free to fly
That burns with a need to know the reason why
Why must we all conceal what we think, how we feel?
Must there be a secret me I'm forced to hide?
I won't pretend that I'm someone else for all time
When will my reflection show who I am inside?
When will my reflection show who I am inside?
Have a great week ahead! Be safe and stay healthy!!
