Brother Where Are You?

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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

Or 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 will swear it's true

That brother all we are

And 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

(solo)

Now there are many

Who will swear it's true

That brother all we are

And 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

They said you came this way,

Said you came this way

I know you came this way…
