Lyrics
VERSE 1:
Are you my brother or are we strangers across the globe?
Your skin as rich as the night, and mine's pale white as a ghost
Prechorus:
I know it burns in your desert, here people suffer on these streets
We might pray to different heavens, but I've got to believe
Chorus:
We connect at the soul and want a safe place that's home
We both need love and life that's fair, like we need water and clean air
And how 'bout some dreams, to use what we got to help this world
Can you believe we share more than people see?
We are not strangers, you're my brother
Verse 2:
Is she my sister? Would she trust me to have her back?
When some men only see her skin deep, not for the mind and inner strength she has
Prechorus:
She can say that it's not lonely trying to act so tough
and that no one means us harm when we shout out standing up
Chorus:
We connect at the soul and want a safe place that's home
We need trust and love to share like drinking' water breathin' air
And how 'bout some dreams, workin' together to help this world
I believe we share more than people see?
We are not strangers, she's my sister
Bridge:
How can we know each other when someone's gotta lose, nobody wins?
When too many take there's not enough to give
When its you for you, and me for me, we forget...
Chorus:
We connect at the soul, when we got us, we are home
And there will be peace that fills the air when we love by rules that are fair
And how 'bout this dream I heal you, and you heal me
and all believe we share more than eyes can see
We are not strangers, he's my brother, she's my sister, we are not strangers
