Youch Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Magic MirrorStanding by the highway suitcase by my side No place I want to go, I just thought I'd catch a ride Many people look my way and many pass me by In moments of reflection, I wonder whyTo the thieves I am a bandit, the mothers think I'm a son To the preachers I'm a sinner, Lord, I'm not the only one To the sad ones I'm unhappy, the losers think I'm a fool To the students I'm a teacher, with the teachers I'm in school To the hobos I'm imprisoned, by everything I own To the soldiers I'm just someone else who's dying to go home The general sees a number. A politician's tool.To my friends I'm just an equal in this whirlpool Magic Mirror Won't you tell me, please Do I find myself in anyone I see Magic Mirror If we only could Try to see ourselves as others would To policemen I'm suspicious, it's in the way I lookI'm just another character to fingerprint and book To the censor I'm pornography with no redeeming grace To the hooker, I'm a customer without a face And the sellers think I'm merchandise, they'll have for a song The left ones think I'm right. The right ones think I'm wrong. And many people come my way, and many pass me by In my quiet reflection I wonder why Magic Mirror Won't you tell me, please Do I find myself in anyone I see Magic Mirror If we only could Try to see ourselves as others would.- Leon Russell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
