Mirror, Mirror

Mirror, mirror hanging on the wall
Help me to accept the girl I see
Black or white or tan, my skin must be
Protection from the evil words I hear.
Mirror, mirror I hold in my hand
Let me see the beauty that's inside
Guide me to embrace this body mine
And not believe in unreachable lies.
Mirror, mirror just behind my door
Is it a trick of light or trick of mind
That I can never see within myself
The grace I see in others all the time?
