Analysis of On the Outside Looking In
Looking through, shattered glass,
the world is in pieces.
Looking through, shattered glass,
a million hearts are broken.
Looking through, shattered glass,
a million tears pour out.
Looking through, shattered glass,
the pieces are slowly coming together.
Looking through shattered glass,
Americans stand together.
