This song is on the Volume 5 album

Brothers

I liked the moody G-F#m back and forth of this song. Somewhere along the way, I created a story between two people: one who dislikes the other and the other who tries to find peace with him. Then, there is a commentator on the sidelines. It is the sad story of clashing cultures in the World.

Brothers

G          F#m    G          F#m 
I have a point of view that you should know   
G          F#m    G          F#m
So do I but first, you go                

Bm      Am      G          F#m 
And this is how it begins

I don’t under stand you
You need to change what you do
I won’t change myself for you
If to me I am not true

And so we begin to see a line drawn in the sand
Bm      C          D         D
On the defence, we seek the upper hand   

What is that you say?
Why won’t you do what I ask of you?  
I want you to understand me  
Tell me something true for you          

The stage is set, the weapons are drawn
Bm      C          D         B
The chance for a peaceful ending may be all gone    

I actually hate you
I want you to disappear
May I suggest my friend,
It isn’t hate, it’s fear

If you cannot love, it’s because you fear
Bm      C          D         F#       B          B
If you do not fear, love blossoms everywhere

You can be afraid of me
Or be curious for who I am
I am not afraid of you
I’m a lion, you’re a lamb

I am no lamb, but I am a man
A         C#        F#       B          E          E 
You need not be a lion, only another man          

 I am a lot like you
As if I am your brother
Talk to me and learn of me
No reason to fear each other

How this ends depends on choice

If you love me, you’ll see nothing to fear
… I love you, I’ll…
Only love of others can make fear disappear
