Through the Looking Glass
Through the looking glass I see
Children playing in the grass
People getting up for class
Through the looking glass
In the looking glass I see
Friends laughing merrily
Couples skipping happily
In the looking glass
Beyond the looking glass I see
Children crying
And innocents dying
Beyond the looking glass
Without the looking glass I see
Things as they seem to be
But I know things aren't as I see
As in the looking glass
