Another summer is dying out
like an old friend forgotten about
heard it again on the news today
another one gone to be forgotten some day

Time knocks us down and sweeps us under the ground
do you think we'll rise again?
Anger and fear have taken us here
is that all that's left behind my friend?

Do you see springtime in their eyes
would some color there be such a surprise
in this world of black and white and frequently red

Is it brotherly love or brotherman's blood that waters
the ground here?

We don't seem to care there's violence everywhere
surrounded by cracked and broken stone
We mostly ignore it or blame them for it
but that's the only world they've ever known

Do you see anger in their eyes
would some love there be such a surprise
in this world of black and white and frequently red

Is it brotherly love or brotherman's blood that waters
the ground here?

We're taken by lies, we don't realize this is madness,
this is madness
living our lives, deaf to the cries of the madness, of
the madness

Heard it again on the news today
another one gone to be forgotten some day
Do you see angels in their eyes
would some grace here be such a surprise
in this world of black and white and frequently red
Is it brotherly love or brotherman's blood that waters
the ground here?
