A Mirror in the Heart |
There is a swan-white curtain |
Somewhere within the sky |
It’s known of every sermon |
Every anguished cry — |
The howls of hopeless people |
Frightened and alone |
There is a spotless silver mirror |
That hangs within the moon |
It’s witness every winter |
The cities charred and ruined — |
The herds of homeless people |
Filling all the roads… |
Some may pray to their mirrors |
Some may kneel before the sun |
Me, I say there’s a mirror |
In the heart of everyone |
Bullets paint the blue distance |
The mirror’s stained from every gun |
Still, I say that it glistens |
In the heart of everyone |
And there are golden whispers |
Within the afternoon |
They’ve held the brothers, sister… |
Felt the mothers' wounds |
The broken-hearted people |
Burying their own… |
Some may pray to their mirrors |
Some may kneel before the sun |
Me, I say there’s a mirror |
In the heart of everyone |
Strike the bell, and we listen |
Light the candle, and we’re shown |
The gods themselves throwing incense |
As all the world begins to glow… |
Such a flame, such a mirror |
In the heart of everyone |
Such a flame, such a mirror |
In the heart of everyone… |
