lyrics

Once upon a time, I would pass
All my time in the looking glass
Watching my reflection
I thought I would stop feeling small
If the man in the mirror would stand up tall
It never is that simple when there’s

Someone who’s broken and counting on you
A mirror can’t supply the view
I couldn’t see past the glass on the wall
As others around me would fall

Oh but now I know
It was hard to see
That life is larger than me

Take a moment to think about
All the ways that you’re down and out
It seems to many to number

If it isn’t the interest rate,
The coffee’s cold or the bus is late
But little things don’t matter when your
Own living mother, so sick and so pale

Gives her strength so her sister can sail
I tore my eyes from the glass on the wall
‘Cause mirrors don’t matter at all

Oh but now I know
It was nice to see
That life is larger than me

I tore my eyes from the glass on the wall
‘Cause mirrors don’t matter at all

Oh but now I know
And it’s nice to see
That I am small
But aren’t we all?
