Objects in the Mirror

11.28.76 The day that I was born, right before my parents split And it was hard, I know, on them When you're young raising children As we look back through the looking glass Visions closer than they appear Stubbing toes on toys, those days you'll wish were still here They'll be objects in the mirror 1.28.86 Our eyes glued to school's only television set No one told us, now we knew Every dream does not come true As we look back through the looking glass Visions closer than they appear Even when they say the sky above will be clear There will be objects in the mirror 4.1.2003 The day I said goodbye to my favorite refugee If he came to us again Would we even let him in? 5.13.2012 Last day I remember mama acting like herself When the angels took her home I was never so alone As we look back through the looking glass Visions closer than they appear When you're holding on to the hope of one more year We're just objects in the mirror 10.2.17 Terror in Las Vegas and the ghost of Tom Petty All these big guns in bad hands Cannot bring back one good man As we look back through the looking glass Visions closer than they appear If fear itself is the only thing we should fear What of these objects in the mirror? 12.31.17 Surrounded by my family, 12 o'clock on New Year's Eve Throwing paper on the fire Nothing else that we require Cause a heart with no regrets Is as good as it can get As we look back through the looking glass Visions closer than they appear There's so many things to be grateful for, my dear All these objects in the mirror Objects in the mirror
