MOM:
Her life ain't been so easy growin' up with all those boys
And a dad no one could please... He held on to us like toys.
Then he threw us all away, terrified us, broke our hearts.
And when I finally ran away it pulled our family apart
BOTH:
Now she's free to be a child or a woman, she's so strong
Not too meek and not too wild. She understands now what went wrong.

CHORUS:
She's a reflection of myself;
Her smile, her lips her eyes....
A reflection of myself;
And she don't even realize
The woman she's become
But I can see it in her eyes
She's a reflection of myself

DAUGHTER:
Her life ain't been so easy. He took her from her family
He pushed and shoved and changed her to be what HE thought SHE should be
Inside she's still 16 at heart. She plays, she cries, she's my best friend
And she's still searchin' for her part to play, but there's no more pretend
BOTH:
She can close her eyes and fantasize and be what she dreams she can be
It took time to realize she's all that I am and all I was
...but she's so very much more....

CHORUS:
She's a reflection of myself;
Her smile, her lips her eyes....
A reflection of myself;
And she don't even realize
The woman she's become
But I can see it in her eyes
She's a reflection of myself

Reprise ....
Yeah, she's strong, she just don't realize it
So she keeps looking back at me
Then I smile at her and remind her she's on her own
and that she's strong (two beats each word)

FADE.....
