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 happenin'
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
Denyin' themselves a real chance
To build a better world
Dear Lord, dear Lord
What's happenin'
To Your precious dream?
It's washin' 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
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 happenin' 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 Denyin' themselves a real chance To build a better world Dear Lord, dear Lord What's happenin' To Your precious dream? It's washin' 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 Explain Request ×
