Brother, I am freezing in the night
Why are all these people running by?
Where is a shelter from the storm?
Hold me close, hold me closer, keep me warm
Brother, will we make it through the night?
What are all these noises? I am frightened
Where is a shelter from the storm?
I am hungry, I am tired, I am torn
Say brother, where do we go?
Say brother, what do you know?
Say brother, will you stand by me?
Say brother, why do we run?
Who´s that man, with the gun?
Hey brother, don´t go away
What are all these colours in the sky?
Why are you whispering, why do we hide?
Is this our shelter from the storm?
Hold me close, hold me closer, keep me warm
Why is all this blood on my hands?
Brother, tell me why you´re crying, stop pretending
Don´t say you´ll leave me all alone
Stay with me. I am lost here on my own
Hey brother, don´t go away
Hey brother, I beg you to stay
Please brother, can´t you say one word?
Hey brother, open your eyes
Why are your hands, cold as ice?
Hey brother, don´t go away
