 FACE IN THE MIRROR (a song created from The Pathhead Choir Songwriting Project - Here We Are) 

Lyrics by The Pathhead Choir Songwriting Group 
Music by Sophie Bancroft and Tom Lyne 
Choir arrangement by Dave Milligan 

Mirrors swear to tell the truth 
What they see they reproduce 
My face is hard to recognise 
The image here is not quite mine 
Still me reflecting time 
Like a fine red wine that satisfies 

And every line tells a story and every story is well read 
Although the days are sometimes stormy we weather on with no regret 

Contours on the map of life 
Sunkissed toil, laughter lines 
Still a sparkle smiling in my eyes 
I love the face that I can see 
I love the skin that covers me 
My younger self would be surprised 

And every line tells a story and every story is well read 
Although the days are sometimes stormy we weather on with no regret 

My skin, your skin, young skin, old skin, still feel young inside 

If they wrote me off at school 
now they see that I’m no fool 
With all that I have done in life 
My younger self would give advice 
Get balance right, be worldly wise 
Don’t work too hard, find time for play 

And every line tells a story and every story is well read 
Although the days are sometimes stormy we weather on with no regret 

My skin, your skin, young skin, old skin, still feel young inside
