paroles de chanson Magic Mirror - Leon Russell

Standing by the highway, suitcase by my side
No place I wanna go, I just thought I'd catch a ride
Many people look my way and many pass me by
In moments of reflection I wonder why

To the thieves I am a bandit, whoa, the mothers think I'm a son
To the preachers I'm a sinner, Lord I'm not the only one
To the sad ones I'm unhappy, to the losers I'm a fool
To the students I'm a teacher, with the teachers I'm in school

To the hobos I'm in prison by everything I own
To the soldier I'm just someone else who's dying to go home
The general sees a number, a politician's tool
To my friends I'm just an equal in this whirlpool

Magic mirror won't you tell me please
Do I find myself in anyone I see?
Magic mirror if we only could
Try to see ourselves as others would

To policemen I'm suspicious, it's in the way I look
I'm just another character to fingerprint and book
To the censor I'm pornography with no redeeming grace
To the hooker I'm a customer without a face

And the sellers think I'm merchandise, they'll have me for a song
The left ones think I'm right, the right ones think I'm wrong
And many people look my way and many pass me by
And in my quiet reflection I wonder why

Magic mirror won't you tell me please
Do I see myself in anyone I meet?
Magic mirror if we only could
Try to see ourselves as others would
