Wait a minute. This is wrong
Even the birds still sing their faithful song
And your beauty lies within you
Look in the mirror baby
Look in the mirror baby

What you gonna do when your friends have 
Gone away
And deserted you

24 hours can seem so long
You´re taught to not care
And then not realize this world is meant to

Wait a minute. It´s wrong
Even the birds still sing their faithful song
And your beauty lies within you

We´ve got to stand up for ourselves
Even if a leader so cold wants to glory himself
We´ve got to be strong
Even if our reasons seem wrong

Even the birds still sing their faithful song
And your beauty lies within you
Look in the mirror baby
Look in the mirror baby
