lyrics

Your smile lights up the whole room
It's so wild and blinding like the sun
All warm and welcome like summer wind
And you share it with everyone

So why can't you smile in the mirror?

You come home tired and beaten down
But your eyes, they shine like a neon sign
Wide open for all of the world to see
Telling me it'll be all right

Then why can't you smile in the mirror?

You're such a generous soul
Your love is never ending
Your heart is out of control
(Whoa-oh-oh)
And it's a lot to behold
But please don't start pretending
This world needs who you are
(Whoa-oh-oh)

Your mind is working on overtime
Wondering at all that life can hold
Well I know it all goes by so fast
You wanna share it with everyone

Then why can't you smile in the mirror?

You're such a generous soul
Your love is never ending
Your heart is out of control
(Whoa-oh-oh)
And it's a lot to behold
But please don't start pretending
This world needs who you are
(Whoa-oh-oh)

Turn around and look in the mirror
The light you shine is shining back on you
It's time you find the time to love yourself

You're such a generous soul
Your love is never ending
Your heart is out of control
(Whoa-oh-oh)
And it's a lot to behold
But please don't start pretending
This world needs who you are
(Whoa-oh-oh)

You're such a generous soul
(Generous soul)
Your love is never ending
Your heart is out of control
(Whoa-oh-oh)
And it's a lot to behold
(Generous soul)
But please don't start pretending
This world needs who you are
(I need who you are)

You're such a generous soul
(Generous soul)
Your love is never ending
Your heart is out of control
(I need who you are)
And it's a lot to behold
(Generous soul)
But don't you pretending
This world needs who you are
I need who you are
