Sample clip (Coming Soon)

I never forgot where I came from
It made me who I am
I couldn’t buy …. being  some guy in a tie….. when I  could fly like  Peter Pan
I was plugged into a socket….fired to a rocket……heading  from here to mars                                      
On a course so clear…  it was written right there in the stars   

Oh, If I could wear the glass slipper
When  the shoe fits… I’d win  
But  the shoe for Cinderella….Isn’t   Cinderfella… who could never  fit in
A fruit out of season… doesn’ t need a reason….for I am as God made me to be…
Divine imperfection….I like  the reflection I see

I like the  boy who never grew up
I like the man … who never sold his soul
the artist with a vision …The madman on a mission  ……with  more punch than the bowl
The kid who never lost the wonder…… the  coward  roaring back at  thunder
The clown …     who lived for laughter
The fighter with more guts
The crackerjack with more nuts…     ….    happy ever after
 I like the man in the mirror….. I like the man in the mirror …
I like the  man in the mirror … I like the man in the mirror …                                        

I got  the castle and kingdom
A pumpkin with  four wheel drive
Now Im back where I started , more open hearted…much more alive
Whatever  fate   brings to me …as long as it  sings to me
a song that is on or off key
Its  the music I hear in my ears..that speaks   clearly to me

God  …before my life is through
Show me what I ‘m meant to do   
Fly me to a star… I still want to feel….. how far is too far
I’m ready to jump from a jet…  without any net ….. without  any regret
Ill be  much  more  awake…Ill be shouting out.,…  with that  last breath I take

CHORUS
TAG
I like the man in the mirror.. I like the man….. in the mirror…..
I like the man in the mirror…. I like the man in the mirror.
I wont grow up or grow old …..  til my hands are snow white,  icy cold 
Here I am …I’m ready.
Superman …..Mighty Mouse …, Peter pan…
Here I stand
The man in the mirror
I am

Songwriting Inspiration:

Looking back at my life at almost 60, I never sold my soul
