Magic Mirror 2001 recording
[Verses 1-6]
I'm standing by the highway
Suitcase by my side
No place I want to go
I just thought I'd take a ride

Many people look my way
Many pass me by
In my quiet reflection
I wonder why

To the thieves I am a bandit
To the mothers 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
To the losers I'm a fool
To the students I'm a teacher
With the teachers I'm unschooled
To the hobos I'm imprisoned
By everything I own
To the soldier 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

[Chorus]
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

[Verses 7-10]
To policemen I'm suspicious
It's in the way I look
I'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
The sellers think I'm merchandise
They'll have me for a song
The left ones think I'm right
The right ones think I'm wrong

And many people look my way
Many pass me by
And in my quiet reflection
I wonder why

[Chorus]
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
