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
