brother where are you
A small boy walked down a city street And hope was in his eyes As he searched the faces of the people he'd meet For one he could recognize Brother, where are you? They said you came this way Brother, where are you? They said you came this way (Looking for a soul brother all around him Looking for a soul brother all around him) The eyes of the people who passed him by Were cold and as hard as stone The poor boy whimpered and began to cry Because he was all alone Brother, where are you? They said you came this way, yeah Brother, where are you? They said you came this way (Looking for a soul brother all around him Looking for a soul brother all around him) Now there are many who swear it's true That brothers all we are Yet it seems there are very few Who will answer a brother's call Brother, where are you? They said you came this way, yeah Brother, where are you? They said you came this way Now there are many who will swear it's true That brothers all we are Yet it seems there are so few Who will answer a brother's call Brother, where are you? They said you came this way, yeah Brother, where are you? They told me you came this way Looking for a soul brother all around him (They said you came this way) Looking for a soul brother all around him (Said you came this way) Looking for a soul brother all around him (I know you came this way) Looking for a soul brother all around him (Oh, you came this way, I know you came this way) Looking for a soul brother all around him Looking for a soul brother all around him Looking for a soul brother all around him Looking for a soul brother all around him Looking for a soul brother all around him
