A small boy walked down a city street
And hope was in his eyes
As he searched the faces of the people he'd meet
Or 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 him)
(looking for a soul brother all around him)

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 him)
(looking for a soul brother all around him)

Now there are many
Who will swear it's true
That brother all we are
And 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

(solo)

Now there are many
Who will swear it's true
That brother all we are
And 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

They said you came this way,
Said you came this way
I know you came this way…
