The Looking Glass Self lyrics

If perchance you question yourself

To wonder how you might be

Glimpse a moment at your looking glass self

Do not wonder for you're looking at 'me'

Do 'I' present an image so fair

Or perhaps a malevolently hideous creature

Does it matter then if you have hair

Or that 'I' emphasize every feature

The looking glass self shapes you

Whether it be dismissed or confirmed

But in 'my' presence does fear sink through

Is your image strong or is it infirmed

Do not bring conceitment in view

Nor its reflection should you fear

With your looking glass self always be true

Make good your character and shed a tear

Dancing, bounding rays of light upon the dew

The beauty prismatic colours the sights

Take time to comprehend your self image

Correct or care for what are your highlights

'I' am your looking glass self, your freedom, or a cage
