Mirror of the Night

Intro (soft, mysterious) Ooh yeah… Listen to the heartbeat Ow! Hoo! Verse 1 City lights are crying, shadows on the wall People keep on running, but don’t know why they fall Mama says, “Be careful how you treat a soul” Every broken promise leaves a deeper hole Hee-hee! I see the truth behind your smile Ow! We’ve been blind for a while Pre-Chorus (rising emotion) If love is the answer Why we living in fear? If hope is the weapon Why we shedding these tears? Chorus (big, catchy, MJ-style) Look in the mirror of the night Tell me who you see (who you see!) Is it you… or just a lie? Hee-hee! We can make it right If you believe (if you believe!) Change starts with you and me Ow! Verse 2 (groovy, rhythmic) Gold chains shining, hearts turning cold Everybody talking, but nobody’s bold Children need a future, not another w*r Open up your hands, not another door slammed—ow! Hee-hee! Feel the rhythm of the street Every step we take Is a chance to lead Pre-Chorus If power is taken By the ones who deceive Then love is the fire That can make us free Chorus (repeat) Look in the mirror of the night Tell me who you see Is it love… or just a lie? Hee-hee! We can make it right If you believe Change starts with you and me Ow! Bridge (soft → explosive) Heal the world inside your heart Don’t wait for tomorrow to start Hoo! One voice… one spark… Turn the dark into art Break (spoken MJ-style) You know it don’t matter Black or white Wrong or right Just love… Hee-hee! Final Chorus (extra power) Look in the mirror of the night Raise your hands with me This is our destiny Ow! We can make it right If you believe Change starts with you and me Hee-hee! Shamone! Outro (fade with ad-libs) Ooh… Believe in love Don’t stop now Hoo! Hee-hee
