Mirror Of Your Mind - Joe South

Who’s that fool lookin' back at you

In the mirror of your mind?

Could it be the one you see

Whose name you’ve often signed?

Can you place the familiar face

You thought you left behind?

Take a real good look

In the mirror of your mind

Take a real good look

In the mirror of your mind, alright

Mm, my, my, my, ooh

Who’s that clown bringin' you down

In the mirror of your mind?

Who’s the one, that son of a gun

Who treats you so unkind?

Open your eyes and realize

How long you have been blind

Take a real good look

In the mirror of your mind

Take a real good look

In the mirror of your mind, mm

And realize that beauty lies

In the eyes of the beholder

And nobody’s out to do you any harm

No, no, no, no

You can’t go on just cryin' on

Somebody else’s shoulder

When the helpin' hand is on the other end

Of your own arm, oh yeah

Now wait a minute, I wonder can you get to this

Now listen

Things in all directions are only your reflections

Everywhere you go you’ve got to reap just what you sow

All the world about you, within you and without you

Things that you have hated

They’re the things that you created, now

Ah, yes

Alright, wait

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Who’s the saddest one of all?

Mirror, mirror in my mind

Won’t you, won’t you help me find the truth?

I’d give everything I own to find the truth

Who I am and what I’m doin'

What I am and why?

Everything I touch I ruin

I don’t know why I try

Keep lookin' for the truth

Now, won’t you, won’t you, won’t you help me find the truth?

People tell me «Come join the crowd

I think we found the way»

But what they are shouts so loud

That I can’t hear what they say

I’m talkin' 'bout the truth

Where in the world do you go to find the truth?

Seems I heard somebody mention

I don’t know where or when

Switch a little part of your attention

From the outside to within

Who’s that fool lookin' back at you

In the mirror of your mind?

I wanna know

Could it be the one you see

Whose name you’ve often signed?

Can you place the familiar face

You thought you left behind?

Take a real good look

In the mirror of your mind

Take a darn good look

In the mirror of your mind

Come on now, look

In the mirror in my mind

Won’t you, won’t you help me find the truth, now

In the mirror of my mind

Oh, whoa I don’t mind

Take a look in the mirror, now

Take a look in the mirror, now

Take a look in the mirror, now

Whoa oh oh
