Cliff Richard - Reflections lyrics

Last night I had a dream Through a swirling fog I walked along On the edge of a stream I heard somebody groan I stopped, looked into a pool And I saw the reflection of a fool I saw the reflection of a fool Dragging him by his throat Were the collar and the links of a chain On his shoulders a coat On his feet shoes of pain The coat was strife The chain was pride I saw the reflection and I cried I saw the reflection and I cried Tears for myself a fool A man chained by independence Gripped by despair so cruel My life was a lot of nonsense My eyes were closed But in my mind I saw the reflection so unkind I saw the reflection so unkind Sick of life, scared of d**h My days just one long futility Feeling my emptiness I cried, "God set me free" I looked once more I don't know how But I saw the reflection changing now I saw the reflection changing now A man was in my place A man with holes in his hands and side A man I could not face The man I had crucified On him was my coat My chains and my shoes And between reflections I must choose Between reflections, I must choose On him was my coat My chains and my shoes And between reflections I must choose Between reflections, I must choose
