[MULAN]
LOOK AT ME:
I WILL NEVER PASS FOR A PERFECT BRIDE,
OR A PERFECT DAUGHTER.

(FA LI and GRANDMOTHER FA enter and watch MULAN from a distance.)

[ANCESTORS, FA LI, & GRANDMOTHER FA]
CAN IT BE
SHE'S NOT MEANT TO PLAY THIS PART?

[MULAN]
NOW I SEE
THAT IF I WERE TRULY TO BE MYSELF,

[ANCESTORS, FA LI, & GRANDMOTHER FA]
SHE WOULD BREAK HER FAM'LY'S HEART.

[MULAN]
WHO IS THAT GIRL I SEE
STARING STRAIGHT BACK AT ME?
WHY IS MY REFLECTION SOMEONE I DON'T KNOW?

SOMEHOW I CANNOT HIDE
WHO I AM, THOUGH I'VE TRIED.
WHEN WILL MY REFLECTION SHOW WHO I AM INSIDE?
WHEN WILL MY REFLECTION SHOW WHO I AM INSIDE?

(FA ZHOU enters. He puts his arm around MULAN and hands her a cherry blossom.)

[FA ZHOU]
My, my. What beautiful blossoms we have this year. Oh, look, it seems that this one's late. But I'll bet when it blooms, it will be the most beautiful of all.

[ANCESTORS, FA LI, & GRANDMOTHER FA]
WHEN WILL YOUR REFLECTION SHOW WHO YOU ARE INSIDE?

[MULAN]
WHEN WILL MY REFLECTION SHOW WHO I AM INSIDE?

(MULAN smiles. She hugs FA ZHOU.)
