Story Behind The Song
Being screwed by those in power, to only be vindicated later. To serve as a lesson in life for all, that what goes around certainly comes around. A story told at the beginning, telling of vindication to come.

Lyrics
The Mirror
November 10, 2003
People just
Live Life
Torn between
Wrong & Right
And the things we do
Make Us Who We are
Not our homes, Not our Jobs,
Not our Cars
The score is being kept
Every foot on a neck
Is a step away
From the bridge, On the way
To the train wreck
A pay day away
At the end of the day
What you do, what you say
Makes you who you are
Can you live with it?
When all is said and done
There?s only one
Face in the mirror
Can you live with it?
Can you live with it?
Take some power
Take Some money
Add good looks
And It?s funny
How your choices change
But the truth remains
What you do
You do And it?s done
In your name
So Make sure that you can face
The choices you make
Because At the end of the day
What you do, What you say
Makes you who you are
Can You live with it?
When all is said and done
There?s only one
Face in the mirror
Can you live with it?
Can you live with it?
The Mirror Doesn?t Lie
The Mirror Doesn?t Lie
The Mirror Doesn?t Lie
The Mirror Doesn?t Lie
The Face In The Mirror
Sees Us For Who Are----
And I?.. For One
Can Live With The Things I Have Done
I Don?t Hide My Hand
After Throwing A Stone
And That Will Be My Story
When I?m Dead And Gone
Because At the end of the day
What you do, What you say
Makes you who you are
Can You live with it?
When all is said and done
There?s only one
Face in the mirror
Can you live with it?
Can you live with it?
Can You Live With The Face In The Mirror
Can You Live With The Face In The Mirror
Can You Live With The Face In The Mirror
Can You Live With The Face In The Mirror
Can You Live With The Face In The Mirror
Can You Live With The Face In The Mirror
