Lyrics
The Mirror
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You sit there and listen, I sit here and play
But I wonder sometimes
If the words and the lines
Just get lost on the way.
Reader to writer and poet to pen,
Still I go on in the hope
That a song's getting through
Now and again.
A song changes nothing, at least it can try
To give us a reason to look at our lives.
It changes nothing, at best it can try
To hold up the mirror of our lives.
We scatter our feelings like seeds that we sow,
But only God understands the heart of the man
In the twenty-fifth row.
You sit there and listen, I sit here and play,
But without love you've got nothing to hear
And I've got nothing to say.
A song changes nothing, at least it can try
To give us a reason to look at our lives.
It changes nothing, at best it can try
To hold up the mirror of our lives
