Tell me what do we see when we look in the mirror

Verse 2: (same chords)

The fruits of his labor

Have dried upon the vine

He dont' want for finer things

He's wanting to get by

There are fertile fields of compassion

We have yet to turn

We educate and we nominate

But will we ever learn?

Repeat Chorus twice
