Brother Where Are You? - Bernard Purdie, WDR Big Band Köln, Dean Brown

A small boy walked down a city street

And hope was in his eyes

As he searched the faces of the people he’d meet

For one he could recognize

Brother, where are you?

They said you came this way

Brother, where are you?

They said you came this way

(Looking for a soul brother all around him

Looking for a soul brother all around him)

The eyes of the people who passed him by Were cold and as hard as stone

The poor boy whimpered and began to cry

Because he was all alone

Brother, where are you?

They said you came this way, yeah

Brother, where are you?

They said you came this way

(Looking for a soul brother all around him

Looking for a soul brother all around him)

Now there are many who swear it’s true

That brothers all we are

Yet it seems there are very few

Who will answer a brother’s call

Brother, where are you?

They said you came this way, yeah

Brother, where are you?

They said you came this way

Now there are many who will swear it’s true

That brothers all we are

Yet it seems there are so few

Who will answer a brother’s call

Brother, where are you?

They said you came this way, yeah

Brother, where are you?

They told me you came this way

Looking for a soul brother all around him

(They said you came this way)

Looking for a soul brother all around him

(Said you came this way)

Looking for a soul brother all around him

(I know you came this way)

Looking for a soul brother all around him

(Oh, you came this way, I know you came this way)

Looking for a soul brother all around him

Looking for a soul brother all around him

Looking for a soul brother all around him

Looking for a soul brother all around him

Looking for a soul brother all around him
