Lyrics
English

[Verse 1]

Stopped looking at religion like it's a display case

Something to observe from a comfortable safe space

Nah, it's a mirror, it's supposed to show my face

The image of the invisible, showing me my place

Not a window I peek through to admire something far

Not a museum exhibit, not a distant star

It's a reflection, it's supposed to look like me

The finished work is a mirror, that's the theology

[Chorus]

Mirror talk, mirror talk

Show me who I really am

Mirror talk, mirror talk

Not a window, I'm the plan

Look a little closer, closer

See yourself and understand

Mirror talk, mirror talk

This is who I am ; this is who I am

[Verse 2]

Every word He spoke was mirror language clear

Every miracle He did brought heaven near

Not to show off power, not to flex and prove

But to show me my reflection, watch the mirror move

I used to think I had to climb to reach the sky

Now I see the mirror shows me God's not far, He's nigh

Prostitute or priest, don't matter what your résumé say

The mirror shows the same reflection either way

[Chorus]

Mirror talk, mirror talk

Show me who I really am

Mirror talk, mirror talk ; look closer

Not a window, I'm the plan

Look a little closer, closer

See yourself and understand

Mirror talk, mirror talk

This is who I am ; this is who I am

[Bridge]

Look in the mirror, what do you see?

Not your failures, not your history

The image and likeness looking back at you

The mirror don't lie, and the mirror is true

[Final Chorus]

Mirror talk, mirror talk

Show me who I really am

Mirror talk, mirror talk

Not a window, I'm the plan

Look a little closer, closer

See yourself and understand

Mirror talk, mirror talk

This is who I am ; this is who I am

[Coda]

Look closer... look closer...

That's you... that's really you...
