Standard Tuning - Capo 3


Intro: , , , 


                                 
A small group of boys walks down the street
                       
Throwing a ball in the air
                                         
One says to another, hey I'll always be your brother
                 
I'll always be your friend


Chorus:
                                     
Do you remember when we thought we were immortal
                                        
And the games we played always had a happy end
                                   
But in the game of life all the roses wither
                                  
And time writes it's lines upon your face...


Summer's here and three young men
Drive through the town in the night air
When fall comes they'll part again
One turns to another and he says


Chorus


It's 3 AM and he's been feeling lonely
Work's been hard, and the city's hard too
He picks up the phone and halfway across the country     
A brother listens to his blues, he says


Chorus


Bridge:
                      
Lift your voices loud and clearly
                       
Sing for brotherhood right now
                      
Lift your voices loud and clearly
                      
Sing for sisterhood right now


Alternate Chorus:
                               
Sometimes I wish that we all were immortal
                                        
And the games we played always had a happy end
                                    
But I know it's not true oh time keeps passing
                                      
But I'm just glad to spend my time...with you
