When you get what you want In the struggle for you
And the world makes you king for a day
Just go to the mirror and look at yourself
See what that person has to say

Now some people call you a straight shooting man
They think you´re a wonderful guy
But the one in the glass says you´re only a fool
If you won´t look him straight in the eye

For it isn´t your lover, your father or mother
Whose judgement upon you must pass
No, the verdict that counts the most in your life
Is the one staring back from the glass
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/j/joey+tempest/the+one+in+the+glass_20280840.html ]
Now the one you should please never mind all the rest
Who is with you clear to the end
And you´ve passed the most dangerous difficult test
If the one in the glass can be your friend

You can fool the whole world down the pathways of years
Get a pat on the back as you pass
But your final reward will be heartaches and tears
If you cheat on the one in the glass

For it isn´t your lover, your father or mother
Whose judgement upon you must pass
No, the verdict that counts most in your life
Is the one staring back from the glass
