You And Your Friends

You gaze in your mirror
And what do you see?
You see, you see
You see someone like me.
The mirror speaks the truth
It would dare not tell lies
What you see is what you get
But my friends see my big brown eyes.
Your so-called friends will tell you
Things you may not like to hear,
But it doesn't really matter
Your best friend is always near.
So when you look in the mirror
And look at who is there
Remember to smile and be proud of yourself
And love who is standing there.
