Aretha Franklin - Take a Look (Columbia Records 1967) video free download

"Take a Look" is a popular song produced and written by Clyde Otis in 1955.

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
