Brother John

<br>I saw this child who never smiled<br>I told him that`s no way to live your life<br>I saw him kneel down on his knees<br>As he said please, please, please<br>It`s as if I could see inside his mind<br>And it reminded me of mine<br>And it became clear that he belonged here<br>And he promised me he`d try<br><br>If only you could have been there,<br>With me and my brother John<br>We tried so hard not to carry on<br>But if we`re so optimistic well that one he was around<br>Let me know if you see him around<br>Let me know if you see him downtown<br><br>I know there is something better than this<br>I know there is<br>There`s gotta be<br>I know there is something better than this<br>I know there is<br>There`s gotta be<br><br>I know there<br>Is a place where I can just hang out<br>With the friends who I brang out<br>We can have some laughs smile and drink and have a good time<br>With all the people we get<br>Who I could never forget<br>La la, la la la la la la<br>Lotsa things that I would like to say<br>To you in your troubled state<br>But it`s so hard when you`re so good at keeping it to yourself<br>And wait till the sun comes up in the morning<br>If you come back we`ll find a place for you
