Brother blood, brother blood
We're of the same spirit, of the same mud Brother blood, brother blood We" re from the same water, we're from the same I've got scars from livin', scars from love Strike me dead if I'm lyin' I've got brothers below, and brothers above With all of our blood we are tryin' I keep tryin' for everything It comes a piece at a time I've got a mountain I'm determined to climb But I took the heat, created the beat And I've got the heart of a lion I've got friends who are dead, friends in jail I've got friends who are policemen And the girls I know now, the girls I knew then I still make my music to please them I keep tryin' for everything I don't count the cost But 1 see an ocean I'm determined to cross 'Cause I look the heat, created the beat And I've got the strength of a dragon I've got dnims of the jungle, drums of the street Dmms of the Indian chief I've got the fire of the gospel, a river of blues And I got the soul of belief And I keep tryin' for everything It's been a long, long road I've got a song that's about to explode I was born to the beat that pounds like the heat And I've got the drums of the spirit Brother blood, brother blood We're of the same spirit, of the same mud Brother blood, brother blood We're from the same water, we're from the same Quand bondieu vie' ou li prend! |

I took a walk along the sea
Lost in thoughts of you and me Just like the moon, turning the tide I feel a pull from so deep inside So many questions haunting us So many doubts attacked our love Dangerous thoughts of what could go wrong Against the odds, we must carry on We must be strong and fearless We must be fearless Counting on help from above Trusting the power of love We must be fearless, fearless, fearless For so long I was afraid To step from the shadows of my mistakes Your love has given me the courage I need Together I know, nothing can stop you and me If we are fearless We must be fearless Counting on help from above Trusting the power of love We must be fearless We must be fearless We must stand in the light, willing to fight Whatever may come between us and be fearless We must be fearless Counting on help from above Trusting the power of love We must be fearless, fearless, fearless |

Like a bird on the wire,
Like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free. Like a worm on a hook, Like a knight from some old fashioned book I have saved all my ribbons for thee. If I, if I have been unkind, I hope that you can just let it go by. If I, if I have been untrue I hope you know it was never to you. Like a baby, stillborn, Like a beast with his horn I have torn everyone who reached out for me. But I swear by this song And by all that I have done wrong I will make it all up to thee. I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch, He said to me, "You must not ask for so much." And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door, She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?" Oh like a bird on the wire, Like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free. |
