Global Scope

Wallace Dean LaBenne

I looked into the mirror and saw a global face
I looked a little deeper and saw the human race

I looked into the mirror and saw a global gain
I looked a little deeper and saw the human pain

I looked into the mirror and saw a global war
I looked a little deeper and saw the human gore

I looked into the mirror and saw a global greed
I looked a little deeper and saw the human need

I looked into the mirror and saw a global thaw
I looked a little deeper and saw the human flaw

I looked into the mirror and saw a global sign
I looked a little deeper and saw the human line

I looked into the mirror and saw a global ill
I looked a little deeper and saw the human will

I looked into the mirror and saw a global scope
I looked a little deeper and saw the human hope
