Lyrics
Take a Look
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Take a look in the mirror, look at yourself
But don't you look too close, cause you just might see the person
That you hate the most, Lord, what's happening to this human race
I can't even see one friendly face, brothers fight brothers and sisters wink their eyes
While silver tongues bear fruits of poison lies, take a look at your children
Born innocent, every boy and every girl, denying themselves a real chance
To build a better world, oh! Dear Lord what's happening to your precious dream
I think its washing away on a bloody, bloody stream, yes, take a look at your children
Before it's too late, and tell them nobody, nobody wins when the prize is hate
Oh, no, no, no It's not too late, we gotta tell all of our children
That love, love, love is the way, yeah, yeah
