On knowing.

::::::::

I know you

I know you all

I know you all look into your mirror

I know you all look into your mirror and wonder what you're looking at

I know some of you like what you see

I know some of you don't like what you see

I know some of you work real hard to make yourself look better

I know some of you work real hard to look even better than you do

I know most of you talk to yourself in the mirror

I know most of you play with your hair and pick your zits

I know most of you have screamed or cried into the mirror

I know most of you have sometimes laughed your head off at yourself

I know some of you are amazed at being a man or a woman

I know some of you are astonished at the very fact of being alive

I know some of you never let yourself look into a mirror that you pass by

I know some of you never let the chance to look at yourself in a mirror go by

I know some of you look into the mirror and swear to get revenge on your enemies

I know some of you look into the mirror and make promises to do the right thing next time

I know some of you look into the mirror and talk openly to your loved ones who have passed on

I know some of you look into the mirror and tell yourself that, no matter what you have to do, you will get home

I know most of you have rehearsed what you're going to say or do in front of the mirror

I know some of you have wondered if you could see right through to God by looking into the mirror

I know some of you have wondered if you could see right through to the very core of who you really are

I know some of you have stood in front of the mirror and cursed at the heavens for allowing you to be born

I know some of you look into the mirror and see your religious or political point of view

I know most of you see your sexual desires and needs, or lack thereof

I know most of you see the color of your skin, and wonder about it

I know most of you think of those you fear, hate, or love

I know most of you think about the coming day or the day gone by

I know most of you think about future dreams or dreams lost

I know most of you wonder what the future holds

I know some of you wonder about your death

I know some of you look into the mirror and wonder where we are going

I know some of you wonder if the beautiful world we live in will survive

I know some of you wonder if your son or daughter will survive

I know some of you wonder when the war will end

I know you all look into your mirror and wonder what you're looking at

I know you all look into the mirror

I know you all

I know you
