[Chorus] The mirror knows me now, I don’t have to turn away. Every broken piece I carried Led me closer to this day. I can hear my own voice clearly, I can feel my spirit grow. The mirror knows me now— And I finally know me too. [Verse 1] I stepped beneath the painted doorway, Dust and sunlight on my shoes. Temple bells across the morning, Playing melodies I knew. There was cardamom and laughter, There were marigolds in bloom. Every colour held a memory, But I entered someone new. I had crossed so many seasons, Wearing faces not my own. Trying hard to be accepted, Still feeling empty and unknown. Then the breeze moved through the banyan, Like a whisper through my skin: “You were never truly missing— You were waiting to begin.” [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need the world to name me, I don’t need permission now. All the answers I was chasing Were alive inside somehow. [Chorus] The mirror knows me now, I don’t have to turn away. Every broken piece I carried Led me closer to this day. I can hear my own voice clearly, I can feel my spirit grow. The mirror knows me now— And I finally know me too. [Verse 2] Children danced beside the market, Dhol was rolling through the square. Bansuri above the rooftops Sent its silver through the air. Someone called me by my old name, And I smiled but understood: I could treasure who I once was Without staying where I stood. I laid down the expectations, Every mask and borrowed role. Let the tabla mark the moment I reclaimed my quiet soul. Not the person they remembered, Not the stranger I became— I am everything between them, And I’m proud to speak my name. [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need the world to guide me, I can trust the ground I choose. Finding who I am was never About something I could lose. [Chorus] The mirror knows me now, I don’t have to turn away. Every broken piece I carried Led me closer to this day. I can hear my own voice clearly, I can feel my spirit grow. The mirror knows me now— And I finally know me too. [Instrumental Section] Expressive sitar melody over acoustic guitars, deep bass and tabla. Bansuri answers the sitar before powerful dhol and cinematic strings build into the bridge. [Bridge] I am not my hesitation, I am not the doors that closed. I am more than every question, More than anybody knows. Let the old walls hold my echoes, Let the new sky hear me sing. I came searching for a doorway— But I found my strength within. [Final Chorus] The mirror knows me now, I will never turn away. Every broken piece I carried Made me stronger on the way. I can hear my own voice clearly, I can feel my spirit glow. The mirror knows me now— And I finally know me too. Oh, I finally know me too. No more hiding, no more doubt— The mirror knows me now. [Outro] Morning settles on the doorway, Golden dust beneath my feet. I arrived with empty questions, Now my spirit feels complete. The mirror knows me now… And I finally know me too.
