"The Man In The Mirror" When you get what you want in your struggle for self and the world makes you king for a day Just go to the mirror and look at yourself and see what that man has to say For it isn't your father or mother or wife whose judgement upon you must pass The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life is the one staring back from the glass Some people may think you're a straight shootin' chum and call you a wonderful guy But the man in the glass says you're only a bum if you can't look him straight in the eye You can fool the whole world down the pathways of life and get pats on your back as you pass But your final reward will be heartaches and tears if you've cheated the man in the glass He's the fellow to please, never mind the rest for he's with you clear to the end And you've passed your most dangerous, difficult test if the man in the glass is your friend.
