(Look Into) THE MIRROR
(C.D. Robinson/Longfield Boswell)
(918) 827-2452/18875 South Pickett Road; Mounds, Oklahoma 74047
You make the morning coffee
While he's lying in your bed
Pour yourself a cup
Of hundred proof instead
Still looking for the love lost
So very long ago
Is it that one then or this one now
That troubles your heart so
(chorus)
His anger raged again last night
You heard your children start to cry
You turned to run and comfort them
They watched him stop you as you tried
You woke to find the rage again
To the truth of what you've done
Your daughter now the victim you have been
As the rage poured from your son
(chorus)
I N S T R U M E N T A L B R I D G E
You see it now
You know what must be done
You vow to stop it here and now
To save your daughter and your son
You look into the mirror
With a heart that's new and true
The young girl is looking back
It's her strength that pulled you through
(chorus)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
C H O R U S
Look into the mirror
Wonder how it came this far
When did that young girl
Turn in to the woman that you are
Cover up your black eye
Hold your ribs with tape
Alcohol can numb the pain
But it can't change your fate.
(NOTE; Repeat last two lines with FINAL CHORUS)
