Take a Look at Yourself Songtext
von Jimmy Cliff

Take a good look
Take a good look
Take a look

When you look in the mirror
Tell me what do you see,
Is it who you think you are or who you like to be
When you look at your shadow tell me what do you see?
Do you walk with a giant or do you crush a flea
We are nothing else but what we think we are
We can die in the morn or reaching for a star
So when your feeling down and out take a look at yourself my friend
And if your still in doubt take a look at yourself again
You got it in all inside you can run but please don′t hide
Take a good look, take a good look
Take a look

Instrument playing


And when you're by yourself tell me what do you want
(Take a look)
Do you want the things you have or want the things you can′t
The heart was made to love the mind to understand
(Take a look)
You can be a puppet or you can be a man
We are nothing else but what we think we are

We can die in the morn or reaching for a star
So when your feeling down and out take a look at yourself my friend
And if your still in doubt take a look at yourself again
You got it in all inside you can run but please don't hide
Take a good look, take a good look
Take a look

Instrument playing

Take a look
Take a look
Take a look
Take a look
Take a look
Take a look
Take a look
Take a look


Feeling down and out, take a look at yourself my friend
And if your still in doubt, take a look at yourself again
You've got it all inside, you can run but please don′t hide
Take a good look, Take a good look
Take a look
