My brother lives in fear Of the hidden cries he seems to hear Somewhere ahead the King of Hell Somewhere below a kitten in a well Am I my brother's keeper? Am I my brother's keeper? My brother lives a lie When his laughter splits the summer sky Somewhere inside he skips a breath Somewhere in there he dies the little death Am I my brother's keeper? Am I my brother's keeper? Every second morning now for years My brother has put on my brawn and brain To wander through a Universe in pain And all my happiness of yesterday Is walked and scorned away Before he returns to me in tears My brother lives a life In the narrow shadow of the knife Somewhere behind a hill of skulls Somewhere below a beach of dying gulls Am I my brother's keeper? Am I my brother's keeper? Am I my brother's keeper? Am I my brother's keeper? | |||||
