when you look into a mirror
do you like what's looking at you
now that you've seen your true reflections
what on earth are you gonna do
find some inspiration
it's down deep inside of you
amend your situation
your whole life is ahead of you
your whole life is ahead of you
remember the time you hung out with the boys now
remember the things you used to say
I thought by now you'd be the president
but after all that was yesterday
you've had time to go out in the world now
but you chose to run away
people ask you what your doin' now
you don't even know what to say
you think life is like a movie
where it all works out in the end
I think life is like a dessert
where does it go where does it begin
when you look into a mirror
do you like what's looking at you
now that you've seen your true reflections
what on earth are you gonna do
find some inspiration
it's down deep inside of you
do you like what's looking at you
now that you've seen your true reflections
what on earth are you gonna do
find some inspiration
it's down deep inside of you
amend your situation
your whole life is ahead of you
your whole life is ahead of you
remember the time you hung out with the boys now
remember the things you used to say
I thought by now you'd be the president
but after all that was yesterday
you've had time to go out in the world now
but you chose to run away
people ask you what your doin' now
you don't even know what to say
you think life is like a movie
where it all works out in the end
I think life is like a dessert
where does it go where does it begin
when you look into a mirror
do you like what's looking at you
now that you've seen your true reflections
what on earth are you gonna do
find some inspiration
it's down deep inside of you

This song was written by Boyd It is an old "Boyd Tinsley Band" (the band he was in before joining DMB) classic. This song can be best described as "a song about growing up".
ahhhh I love this song so much! I sal DMB play this song at one of their concerts I went to and I almost shit in my pants because I was so happy. Its all about finding your nitch in life and sticking to it.
if this song isn't inspirational, i don't know what is.. this line: "find some inspiration, it's down deep inside of you" is awesome...dmb is my inspiration :)
We all gotta grow up sometime, even though it is nice to party with the boys...It just shows how the rest of the band is underrated...Go Boyd
Everyone needs some inspiration!! It's just hidden REAL deep in some people.. it can be found though.. =)
I heard this song live for the first time last night in Burgettstown, PA. It was so nice to see Dave shed the spotlight for a brief moment and let Boyd step into it. He does such a nice job singing it... he sounds like he has faith enough for everyone to find that inspiration. Amazing...
pussy
It would be so awesome if Boyd could write and sing more for the band; then DMB could be a double threat like the Beatles (sure, George wrote a couple, but the band wouldn't use most of his songs...)!
