Brother Where Are You - Oscar Brown, Jr., Matthew Herbert

A small boy walked down a city street

Hope was in his eyes

As he searched the faces of the people he’d meet

For 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 me)

(Looking for a soul brother all around me)

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 me)

(Looking for a soul brother all around me)

Now there are many who swear it’s true

That brothers are we all

But 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

Now there are many who swear it’s true

That brothers are we all

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

(Looking for a soul brother all around me)

They said you came this way

(Looking for a soul brother all around me)

Said you came this way

(Looking for a soul brother all around me)

I know you came this way

(Looking for a soul brother all around me)

Know you came this way, I know you came this way

(Looking for a soul brother all around me)

(Looking for a soul brother all around me)

(Looking for a soul brother all around me)
