Lyrics for Take A Look

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 Just take a look at your children Born innocent Every boy and every girl Denying themselves a real chance To build a better world Dear Lord, dear Lord What's happening to your precious dream? It's washing away On a bloody, bloody stream Take a look at your children Before it's too late And tell them nobody wins When the prize is hate
