Reflections Lyrics - Cliff Richard

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 death 

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, 

Repeat twice.
