Looking Glass

I've become more of what I thought I would never be
I let the selfishness take hold when you needed me
I can no longer stand back and watch my life go passing by

I'm going to stand for what is right
And for what I know is true
Because if truth is really true
There is no me, there is only You
The line's been drawn in the sand
It's time I take my stand

I'll be like the sheep in wolves' skin
I'll be the one pressing on at the day's end
Whеn you're at my funeral and next to my kin
Makе sure they save my seat at the wolves' den

Because I will be all things to all men
Let me see life through your eyes
Let me see life through your eyes

I refuse, I refuse
I refuse to see a world for what they say it is
Turning blind eyes from the outstretched hands and cries

I refuse to see the beggar
Abandoned without a home
I refuse to see the prostitute
Feeling lost and all alone
I refuse to see the bastard son
Fatherless without cause
And I refuse to see this happen to the ones that I love
I refuse to see these things, yet I refuse to see me

'Cause if I love you as myself, I've hated you all along
I saw you begging in the streets, said to myself "go find a job"
Forced to sell your body, while freely I gave mine
I saw pain and no release
I saw you, instead of seeing me
