Lyrics

You could be my brother And I ain't talking about short term Something in your eyes Something that tells me that you see it all And wouldn't you like to see A place where children freely run and play? And wouldn't you like to see A place where every man can have a say? And wouldn't you like to see A space and time exist where all men can truly be free? Yes, well that's a lot like me You could be my brother You could be my brother And I ain't talking about rich at all 'Cause once you start sharing You always feel somehow that you got all And wouldn't you like to feel There be folks they're with you when you make your stand And wouldn't you like to feel You'll hold your destiny in your own hands And wouldn't you like to feel There's enough respect out there for each and every man Yes, well don't you understand You could be my brother Well wouldn't you like to see A place where children freely run and play? Yes, and wouldn't you like to see A place where every man can have a say? Well wouldn't you like to see A space and time exist where all men could truly be free? Yeah, that's a lot like me Yes, that's a lot like me Well and wouldn't you be You could be my brother You could be my brother You could be my brother You could, you could You could, you could You could, you could be my brother
