"The Looking Glass" lyrics

"The Looking Glass"

What if I told you a story
Where all that you wished for came true
A world of abundance and glory
Where fear is a servant of you
There's a place where the mind of the weary
Can bloom with the grace of a rose
Where darkness is imaginary
And courage like wildfire grows

I am making my way through the shallows
I'm washing the ashes away

What if the heart was never broken
How can we stand up and walk
If we never learn how to fall
And what if the truth was left unspoken
There's a way for us all
To make peace with the pain

The key to your deepest desires
Is lost in the flames of your past
Alone you must walk through the fire
Where peace will await you at last

I am making my way from the shallows
I'm washing the ashes away

So what if the heart was never broken
How can we stand up and walk
If we never learn how to fall
And what if the truth was left unspoken
There's a way for us all
To make peace with the pain

Through the looking glass I see
All water, dust and scar
From a distance what are we
But remnants of fallen star

So what if the heart was never broken
How can we stand up and walk
If we never learn how to fall
And what if the truth was left unspoken
There's a way for us all
To make peace with the pain
