“Begins In the Mirror”

Struggling communities
Broken families
What’s left to go?
How do we stop losing this uphill battle?
Where does our future turn?
Who does our future look to?
They just can’t keep looking to the corner
A hopeless corner
A corner of death
Killing out future, daily
There has to be away to defeat losing
Away to knock down some of these obstacles
Clear room for our future
It doesn’t have to be so hard
Feel so impossible
We have to help them believe
Or our future dies
On the corner
It begins in the mirror
For those whose future is now
Or close by
It begins in the mirror
Whose hero are you?
Look back
Look down
Who’s looking up to you?
It begins in the mirror
Whose hero are you?
Or are you doing this just for you?
Leaving no impression
Providing no direction
So where does our future turn?
The corner?
No hope
Dreams deferred
This can no longer be
For our community
This has to end
It begins in the mirror
Whose hero are you
Give a little time
It’s priceless
Share a little advice
It’ll last a lifetime
Be a solid foundation
For our future
It begins
In the mirror…..
