Lyrics

(G)Look at me,

I will (Em7)nev er pass for a (Am7)per fect bride

or a per fect (D7sus)daugh (D7)ter.

(G)Can it be

I’m not (Em7)meant to play this (F7)part?

(Bb)Now I see

that if (Gm7)I were tru ly to (Cm7)be my self,

(C)I would break my fam ’ly’s (Bb)heart.

(Bb)Who

is (Bb)that (Gm7)girl I see (F)star ing (Eb)straight

(Ebm)back at me?

(Bb)Why (F)is (Gm7)my (Gm)re (Ebmaj7)flec tion some one (Ab)I

don’t (F)know?

(Bb)Some

how I (Gm7)can not hide

who I (Eb)am,

(Ebm6)though I’ve tried.

(Bb)When (F)will (Gm7)my (Gm)re (Ebmaj9)flec tion (Eb6)show

who I am in side?

(Bb)When (F)will (Gm7)my (Gm)re (Ebmaj9)flec tion show

(Ebm6)who I am in (Eb)side?

This page shows “Reflection” by Matthew Wilder & David Zippel in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of G at 90 BPM, a comfortable easy-level arrangement perfect for first-time learners.

Tips for parents & teachers

  • Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
  • Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
  • Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
  • Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.
