I've got to stand up for myself This society don't care about no body else I got to be strong Even if I know that this feeling is wrong I got to not care Even if I know that this world was meant to share 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? You'll have to be strong Twenty-four hours can seem so long You're taught to not care And then not realize this world is meant to share Wait a minute, it's 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 We got to stand up for ourselves Even if the leader so cold wants to glory himself We've got to be strong Even if our reasons seem wrong We've got to not care Even if the world that we know may not even be here Hold it, it's 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 Ooh, look in the mirror, baby Ooh, look in the mirror, baby Oh, alright, look in the mirror, baby
