Song For A Brother - Bloodrock

If you saw your brother walking down the street

Would you treat him just like anyone else?

Have you stopped to think that it might be true

That all men are your brothers?

Well I’m not quite that blind as to think that someday

Each might be kind to one another

I’m just saying, why must they

Be quite so thoughtless?

People seem bewildered, keeping fronts to hide

Their gentle thoughts that they are thinking

Crowds of lonely people searching for acceptance

Never finding what they’re needing

Looking past each other, carelessness the cause of all

Contempt that they are breeding

And I keep asking, why must they

Be quite so thoughtless?

Mmm, why so thoughtless?

Maybe in the future, people will discover

How to talk with one another

They will be defenseless, that’s because they will not

Feel the need for false defenses

They will learn to love, learn to have compassion without

Fear from consequences

They’ll glance back and ask

«Why were you so thoughtless?»

Oh, why so thoughtless?
