HE IS YOUR BROTHER

I was a fighter always looking for trouble
and my life was so empty
there was nothing left to live for
but then it happened one night
as I got into a fight
I could hear someone saying
as though he was praying: “ah –

Treat him well, he is your brother
you might need his help one day
we depend on one another
love him that’s the only way
on the road that we’re going
we all need words of comfort and compassion
treat him well, he is your brother
love him that’s the only way”

I was a woman never thinking of others
and my life was so lonely
didn’t care for anybody
but then I happened to meet
a begging man in the street
as I turned down his praying
I heard someone saying: “ah –

Treat him well, he is your brother
you might need his help one day
we depend on one another
love him that’s the only way
on the road that we’re going
we all need words of comfort and compassion
treat him well, he is your brother
love him that’s the only way”

SANTA ROSA

I’d give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa
how I wish this road would take me
home where I belong
’cause I have found no other place
where I would stay
I’m tired and all my dreams have failed along the way

I’d give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa
though I wonder what my folks would
think about me now
I guess I’ve changed like people do
when things go wrong
but in the end somehow I know we’ll get along

Santa Rosa I’ll be back to stay
I’m on my way
Santa Rosa I’ll be back to stay

I’d give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa
how I wish to see the old house
where I used to live
and all my friends will they be there
when I come home
how I regret the day when I set out to roam

Santa Rosa I’ll be back to stay
I’m on my way
Santa Rosa I’ll be back to stay

I’d give anything to be back home in Santa Rosa
I’d give anything to be back home
