Once Amazing.

Do you remember as a kid, you dreamt about being one of those amazing people?


The fighter pilot who zoomed across the sky in an F-16.


The cricket star who hit that last ball six to win the World Cup.


The inventor with a thousand amazing inventions to his name.




Where did those people go?

Once Amazing

Hello, My name is Reflection,

But I'm not what you see,

When you look in the mirror,

I'm what you want to be,

When you grow up,

Oh wait, you're there already,

Now you're someone else,

And I'm not what you wanted to see,

Don't look away now,

Tell me what you see,

Do you still see Outstanding,

Or are you blinded by Reality,

Have you given up,

Your hopes and your dreams?

Have you killed me,

Or do you still believe?

In me, in yourself,

Do you believe you can be,

Everything you ever dreamt of,

Don't let it be just a dream,

'Cos, I was once a Dreamer,

Footloose and Fancy-free,

I could fly like an eagle,

Be outstanding, corner glory,

I was once a Star,

Who everyone wanted to be,

I was once Amazing,

But now you don't see me.
