Mirror, Mirror


The mirror couldn’t rule the world

Unless it ruled each little girl

And before we uttered our own names

We saw our faces in gilded frames

Heard fairy tales of royal balls

Saw magic mirrors on all our walls

Oh mirror, mirror had us fooled

Had us believe that appearance ruled…


But now I recognise the ruse

And I dearly hope that you do too

If we look with more than just our eyes

We will find where beauty truly lies
