Magic Kingdom

Magic Kingdom


Little girl dreams to be a princess
Wiggle my nose, away I go
Mirror, mirror on the wall
The face inside will tell me all
Beauty wakened with a kiss
Snow-white dreams, bed of bliss
Pretty in pink, a fragrant flower
Tucked inside an ivory tower


Middle-girl dreams to meet a lover
Strong, kind man to hold my hand
Gilded mirror on the wall
The face inside reveals it all
Beauty cheapened with a lie
Sordid dreams, bedroom eyes
Veiled in black, a ruined bride
Used, confused, and cast aside


Worlds away in a grownup land
Always moving, working, proving
Check the mirror on the wall
The face inside it shows me all
Beauty weakened with the years
Broken dreams, bed of tears
In the red and on the edge
Pressed in by a thorny hedge


King in bright and fiery light
Astride his steed, he rides for me
My mirror rests on heaven's throne
One glance to know as I am known
Beauty deepened by his face
Wildest dreams, bed of grace
Whitest robe and crown of gold
Bride of Christ, my future told
