lyrics

My name is Orla Quirke and I’m a Ravenclaw
When I started at Hogwarts, I simply was in awe
Of all the magic floating ‘round and getting in my head
And that’s when I found the Mirror of Erised

Chorus
In the mirror (Hello Orla dear)
In the mirror (You’re who I am here)
I see myself (Everyone says “she/her”)
As someone else
In the mirror (That’s right Orla dear)
In the mirror (You’re who I am here)
I see myself (Everyone is sure)
As the girl I’m meant to be (You’re the girl you’re meant to be)

I looked deep into that mirror and it showed me how
I had always wished to be, and so it showed me now
I see the person straight ahead that I most want to be
I see her in the mirror and I know that she is me

Chorus

On my first day at Hogwarts, I couldn’t wear a dress
Everyone has to wear robes and maybe that is best
I was really nervous, uncomfortable and shy
Hoping no one would see me as a guy

Chorus

My voice is so much deeper than most of the girls here
But inside of the mirror, it’s just how I appear
I see myself in her and it brings me joy
To know deep inside my heart I never was a boy

Chorus x2
