The Man In The Mirror
- from a book called "You can do it" by Paul Hanna
If you get what you want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you king for a day
Then go to the mirror and look at yourself
And see what the man has to say
For it isn't a man's father, mother or wife
Whose judgement upon him must pass
The fellow whose verdict count's most in life
Is the man staring back from the glass
He's the fellow to please, never mind all the rest
For he's with you right up to the end
And you've passed your most dangerous, difficult task
If the man in the glass is your friend
You can fool the whole world down the pathway of years
And get pats on the back as you pass
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you've cheated the man in the glass
