"Through the Looking Glass"

Once I saw a woman of shadow
In the mirror she spoke of my face
Once I saw a woman in water
The purest of love
The sweetest of grace
And once I knew this woman
And at once
Never knew her at all
But both of these women
Know who I am
I am She
When I rise and I fall

Once I fought a battle
For a war of dark and light
Once I fought a battle in me
For a war not wrong or right
And when the war was over
My battle-scarred, hardened heart
Broke wide open
And spilled on the ground
Blood both black and white

Through the looking glass
Everything, I see
A dream is but a promise
Naked, in reality
Through the looking glass
There's nothing left to find
Everything I've searched for was here
Was here
Already mine

Nothing is for certain
Of that you can be sure
But in the realm of possibilities
You better know
What you're living for

Because through the looking glass
Everything, I see
A dream is but a promise
Naked, in reality
Through the looking glass
There's nothing left to find
Everything I've searched for was here
Was here
Already mine
