[Verse 1]
You could be my brother
And I ain't talking about short or tall
Something in your eyes
Something that tells me that you've seen 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 his 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

[Verse 2]
You could be my brother
And I ain't talking about rich or poor
'Cause once you start sharing
You always feel somehow that you got more
And wouldn't you like to feel
There'll be folks there with you when you make your stand?
And wouldn't you like to feel
You 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
