Lyrics

Hey Brother

Hey, brother

Where you goin' with that stick in your hand?

He said, "Goin' over here

Goin' to destroy another man's land"

'Cause one man but nothing to other man but all

Together we stand and divided we fall

It's sad to know today

People aren't willing to show a little love for you

(Love)

And we need more love

(Love)

We all need love

(Love)

That sustains enough love

(Love)

Gimme some love

(Love)

Callin', buddy, I want love

(Love)

'Cause

I loved the most, I paid the price that cost

Too much for freedom

Look, just understand, I'm a man

I come from that same mother called nature

Yeah

I'll tell you what's wrong, I'm was born to be strong

To be tied down, I can't stand it

Listen, wrong or right, black or white

We all deserve an equal right

Hey, brother

Learn how to live with one another, ya

Hey, brother

Hey, brother

Learn how to live with one another

Hey, sister
