Brother finds trouble on the street |
|
A piece of rock to make men weak |
|
Trembling eyes at everyone he meets |
|
Sister holds her baby in the bed |
|
Dreams and wishes dancing in her head |
|
A love forever is what he said |
|
That's what he said |
|
Father leans back in his easy chair |
|
A pint of whiskey, just sits and stares |
|
He don't know and doesn't really care |
|
Mother works at a nine to five |
|
Hardly makes enough to keep alive |
|
She bows her head with tears in her eyes |
|
Thank you, Lord, for another day |
|
Help my brother along his way |
|
Please bring peace to the neighborhood, to the neighborhood |
|
Grant us all peace and serenity |
|
They're just songs sung on a dirty street |
|
Echoes of hope lie beneath their feet |
|
Struggling hard to make ends meet |
|
Thank you, Lord, for another day |
|
Help my brother along his way |
|
Please bring peace to the neighborhood |
|
Thank you, Lord, for another day |
|
Help my brother along his way |
|
Please bring peace to the neighborhood |
|
To the neighborhood |
|
To the neighborhood |
|
To the neighborhood |
