Brother Lyrics

He was the old man

Who lived by himself

On the border of the unwanted

Ones knocked off the shelf

Up the hill

Shining lanterns

Bright as the sun itself

Lit up walls

You wouldn't know it though

They'd bowed down to themselves

With leather hands and ragged cart

He walked to the borderland

Piled high with food and water

He filled empty hands

Then made his way back to his dwelling place

Gathering garbage

And with warmth embraced the derelict

Looked up and sang

I sought my God

I could not see

I sought my soul

It eluded me

I sought my brother

And I found

All three

The next day

Just like the one before

Now this time up the hill

Pushing joyfully to serve them all

This was his thrill

Everybody working tirelessly

They thanked him with a smile

Then he hugged them

And he danced on home

Singing all the while

I sought my God

I could not see

I sought my soul

It eluded me

I sought my brother

And I found

All three

Oh we are the branches

You are the Vine

Oh we are the branches

You are the Vine

Oh we are the branches

You are the Vine

Oh we are the branches

You are the Vine

Oh we are the branches

You are the Vine
