I looked in the mirror
I looked in the mirror
Into the eyes of a little boy
With whom I had done great injustice.
His soft brown eyes,
Gazed back into mine,
Brimming with tears,
While he gently bit down his quivering lips
How I wish I could pick him up in my arms
And kiss on both his cheeks!
But for this sheet of glass between us,
This pane of reality that separates us -
The real and the unreal,
The past and the present
You had looked up to me
As you are doing now
When I first took you in
I promised you wings for your dreams
Little did I realize
That I had tied them down
With strings of fear
Into the eyes of a little boy
With whom I had done great injustice.
His soft brown eyes,
Gazed back into mine,
Brimming with tears,
While he gently bit down his quivering lips
How I wish I could pick him up in my arms
And kiss on both his cheeks!
But for this sheet of glass between us,
This pane of reality that separates us -
The real and the unreal,
The past and the present
You had looked up to me
As you are doing now
When I first took you in
I promised you wings for your dreams
Little did I realize
That I had tied them down
With strings of fear
