Reflexion

**(Verse 1)**

Morning coffee, window pane,

Watching strangers in the rain,

Their stories written on their face,

Each one running their own race.

I think about the roads not taken,

Dreams that left my heart forsaken,

Would I paint beneath Milan's dome?

Or find my peace in Cairo's ancient home?

**(Chorus)**

What if fate had dealt new cards,

Would I still be counting stars?

Would my laughter sound the same,

Would I answer to this name?

In a different time and place,

Would I recognize my face?

But I'm learning to embrace,

All the beauty in this space.

**(Verse 2)**

Would my fingers know guitar,

If I'd grown up by the shore?

Would I write in different rhymes,

If I'd lived in other times?

Every sunset holds a clue,

To the person I once knew,

What if courage took the lead?

Would I plant a different seed?

**(Chorus)**

What if fate had dealt new cards,

Would I still be counting stars?

Would my laughter sound the same,

Would I answer to this name?

In a different time and place,

Would I recognize my face?

But I'm learning to embrace,

All the beauty in this space.

**(Bridge)**

Mirror shows me who I am,

Not who I could be, but where I stand,

Every scar and every smile,

Made this journey worth the while.

Though I wonder, though I dream,

Nothing's quite the way it seems.

**(Final Chorus)**

Maybe fate dealt perfect cards,

And I'm right here counting stars,

My laughter rings exactly right,

In this moment, in this light.

In this time and in this place,

I can finally see my face,

Learning how to truly embrace,

All the magic in this space.

**(Outro)**

So I breathe and let it be,

The only life that's meant for me,

In this chair, I find my ground,

In every heartbeat, truth is found...

We're all just souls learning to see.
