By Howard Aronson
This lyric came about because I remember a show when I was little called romper room. The teacher used to always bring out a hand mirror, and say mirror mirror who's the fairest of them all. I think that America gives us some sort of answer as to who we are. It has no mind of its own, it just reflects back at you what you see. So many times in my life I just didn't understand who I was, and looking in the mirror didn't help at all. There's a saying that says go look in the mirror, but it hasn't always been helpful. At times I took mirrors off the wall, or just put a cover on it cuz I didn't want to see myself. But sooner or later the truth comes out, and you have to face who you are, and what's going on in life, in order to move forward
