The Reflection in the glass
Jean-Paul VERNERET
9/4/2023

Verse 1
I pulled the shutters open to a sky of fading gray
But I feel the storm has swept my life away
Left behind the heavy bags of yesterday
The ones that dragged me down, the ones we throw away

Bridge
In the reflection of the glass, a stranger meets my eyes
Just a lost kid who forgot how joy feels inside

Chorus
And I’m walking, one foot after the other
Toward a land that won’t belong to us together
Just my own, to a brand new horizon line
Where silence isn’t just a weight on my mind

Verse 2
I see roads in front of me I never dared to try
No need for a compass now to say goodbye
This city’s like a beast you better leave asleep
I drift between the steel towers, running blind and deep

Bridge
In the reflection of the glass, a stranger meets my eyes
Just a lost kid who forgot how joy feels inside

Chorus
And I’m walking, one foot after the other
Toward a land that won’t belong to us together
Just my own, to a brand new horizon line
Where silence isn’t just a weight on my mind

Verse 3
I look back in the mirror, everything grows small
My regrets fade out in the evening’s fall
So I stop the hands of time, I cut the power down
Just to hear the silence breathe without a sound

Bridge
In the reflection of the glass, a stranger meets my eyes
Just a lost kid who forgot how joy feels inside

Chorus (final)
And I’m walking, one foot after the other
Toward a land that won’t belong to us together
Just my own, to a brand new horizon line
