A small group of boys walks down the street

Throwing a ball in the air

One says to another

Hey I'll always be your brother

I'll always be your friend



Chorus:

Do you remember

When we thought we were immortal

And the games we played always had a happy end

But in the game of life all the roses wither

And time writes its lines upon your face



Summer's here and three young men

Drive through the town in the night air

When fall comes they'll part again

One turns to another and he says



Chorus



It's three A.M. and he's been feeling lonely

Work's been hard and the city's hard too

He picks up the phone and halfway across the country

A brother listens to his blues he says



Chorus



Lift your voices loud and clearly

Sing for brotherhood right now

Lift your voices loud and clearly

Sing for sisterhood right now



Sometimes I wish

That we all were immortal

And the game of life always had a happy end

But I know it's not true oh time keeps passing

But I'm just glad to spend my time

With you



Lift your voices loud and clearly

Sing for brotherhood right now

Lift your voices loud and clearly

Sing for sisterhood right now
