The Man In The Glass
When you get what you want in your struggle for self,
And the world makes you king for a day,Just go to the
mirror and look at your self,And see what (THAT)man
has to say.
For it is'nt your father or mother or wife
Whose judgment upon you must pass- -
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the one staring back from the glass.
Some people might think your stright-shooting chum,
And call you a wonderful guy.
But the man in the glass say's youre only a bum
If you cant look him stright in the eye.
He's the fellow to please never mind the rest,
For he's with you clear up to the end,
And you passed your most dangerous,difficult test
If the guy in the glass is your friend.
You may fool the whole world down the pathway
of years,And get pats on the back as you pass-
But your final reward will be heartaches and
tears,If youve cheated the man in the glass.
