lyrics

TAKE A LOOK AROUND written by MEI LIN HEIRENDT

There’s a woman

Sitting on the side of the road

She’s holding a battered sign

There’s shame in her eyes



There’s a young man

But his face looks aged and tired

Empty bottles at his feet

No job that he could keep



You could keep on walking

but the road needs blocking

You gotta find what needs to be found



You’ll never know how much it means

To do just one little thing

So take a look around



There’s a mother

With a baby in her arms

She’s picking up bottles and cans

This isn’t what she had planned



There’s an old man

Sitting alone in the cafe

There are tears in his eyes

No one left in his life



You could keep on walking

But the road needs blocking

You gotta find what needs to be found



You’ll never know how much it means

To do just one little thing

So take a look around

There’s a busy nurse

Working day and night

She’s saving precious lives

But she’s never satisfied



There’s a singer

Pouring his heart out in the lines

But no one’s listening

Cause they’ve got other things on their mind

You could keep on walking

But the road needs blocking

You gotta find what needs to be found



You’ll never know how much it means

To do just one little thing

So take a look around



So take a look around..
