Fool In The Mirror

Gray C

The Fool In The Mirror 

The Fool In The Mirror

Is he buried in the past

Is he dreaming of the future

Is he living for today

 

The Fool In The Mirror 

Is he standing up straight 

Is he falling flat on his face 

Is he stumbling from day to day 

 

The Fool In The Mirror 

Is he laughing out loud

Is he crying inside 

Is he numb to his heart 

 

The Fool In The Mirror

Is he blind to the sights

Is he deaf to the sounds 

Is he hiding in his dreams 

 

(last verse)

The Fool In The Mirror

He’s a reflection of you

He smiles knowingly at himself 

Eyes open he stares at the glass 

The glass shatters

The Fool is no more 

 

(alternative last verse) 

The Fool In The Mirror 

He was a reflection of you 

He’s no longer asleep 

He’s shattered the glass

The Fool Is No More 

 

(another alternative) 

The Fool Looks In The Mirror

He smiles knowingly, eyes open

He stares and shatters the glass

The Fool Is No More

 

(Final Two Lines) 

The Fool In The Mirror

Smiles knowingly at himself
