Looking down at my reflection

In the puddle at my feet

Things don't seem so real down there

Or maybe I don't see

I see no starvation

I don't feel any pain

I see myself not helping

Just a loner in the rain

Looking down at my reflection

In the puddle on the ground

Things are getting clearer now

I see a thunder cloud

I see gross injustice

I see evil men

I see myself repeating

The same old words again

Looking down at my reflection

In the puddle lying there

Now I decide to change my mind

And show the world I care

I care about my fellow man

Being taken for a ride

I care that things start changing

But there's no one on my side
