Reflections
Jason Champion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I may not play as well (lord) some of them can
Would that make me a better man
Better than who I'm
Would you wanna shake my hand
would you wanna be a fend
But there is no life with my name
there no stars or tarks and fame
No one ask for an anchor
When I look in the mirror
Here's what I see
I see my savior, looking at me
When I look in the mirror, I don't see me
I see my purpose, I see destinies
I may not writte the songs that, the whole world sing
I may not live imagine (lord) or have the wealth of a king
Would that make me a better man
Better than who I'm
Would wanna shake my hand
Would you wanna be a fend
But there is no life by my name
there's no stars or lot of fame
There's no crowds, screaming more
No one asking for an anchor
When I look in the mirror, here's what I see
I see the savior looking at at me
When I look in the mirror, I don't see me
I see my purpose, I see destinies
when I'm looking in the mirror here's what I see
When I'm looking in the mirror
I don't see me
I see my destinies
To the eyes of God I'm more than I could ever dream
He oh, if people can only see
But knowing you lord, has done for me
Are you ready
When I look in the mirror
Here's what I see, I see the savour looking at me
When I look in the mirror
I don't see me
I see my purposes
I see destiny
When I look in the mirror, I feel much better now
Now no(when I'm looking in the mirror
To the eyes of God I'm more than I could have dream
The lyrics of Jason Champion's song "Reflections" are about self-reflection and finding one's worth beyond worldly accomplishments, talents, and fame. The singer acknowledges that he may not be the best singer, player or songwriter, but he doesn't let that define him. He questions whether having those abilities would make him a better man, and affirms that his identity and purpose lie in his relationship with God. When he looks in the mirror, he doesn't see himself, but his savior looking back at him. He is reminded that he is more than what people see and he sees his destiny and purpose in the eyes of God. The song encourages listeners to look beyond their perceived limitations, and instead seek a greater purpose in life.
The repetitive chorus creates a contemplative mood, and the gospel-inspired melody elevates the song's message of spiritual reassurance. The drums and harmonies create a soulful and upbeat sound, and the use of the word "savior" adds a religious connotation to the song. The lyrics emphasize the importance of self-worth and that life's purpose is not determined by wealth or fame. The decision to focus on one's destiny and purpose and not on material possessions sets the tone for the song.
