This song was written for the Disney movie Mulan. Which was about a Chinese maiden goes undercover as a man to save her father from death in the army, and becomes one of China's greatest heroes in the process.
Lyrics:
Look at me
You may think you see
Who I really am
But you’ll never know me
Every day, is as if I play apart
Now I see
If I wear a mask
I can fool the world
But I can not fool
My heart
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
I am now
In a world where I have to
Hide my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow
I will show the world
What’s inside my heart
And be loved for who I am
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection
Someone I don’t know?
Must I pretend that i’m
Someone else for all time?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
There’s a heart that must
Be free to fly
That burns with a need
To know the reason why
Why must we all conceal
What we think
How we feel
Must there be a secret me
I’m forced to hide?
I won’t pretend that i’m
Someone else
For all time
When will my reflections show
Who I am inside?
When will my reflections show
Who I am inside?
I picked this song to fit the theme of Child's Play because its a song about true self, and in the story I feel the characters were battling that issue. More so the movie Mulan was about fate and destiny, and this song was during a vulnerable part when Mulan had to chose between her destiny or what she wanted to do. In the story the characters at first unaware of the fate, soon tried to fight it, yet unlike Mulan it had taken over their life.
