Somebody's Brother

by Energy Orchard

on Energy Orchard (1990)

Up the steps of the station, with a bottle in my hand
Celebrating celebration, in spite of this land
I've counted the coffins, felt the wind of despair
I've grown numb to murder, and I'm too too drunk to care

Somebody's brother, somebody's son
Somebody's jewel, somebody's love
People, my people, your people, our people
Dreaming of peace in a place where there's none

There's a fire in the valley, there's light from the moon
Shadows are dancing, dancing, dancing round my room
A young life is taken, a mother's heart broken
And the dark words of vengeance are the only
Are the only words spoken

Somebody's brother, somebody's son
Somebody's jewel, somebody's love
People, my people, your people, our people
Dreaming of peace in a place where there's none

Somebody's brother, somebody's son
Somebody's jewel, somebody's love
People, my people, your people, our people
Dreaming of peace in a place where there's none

Somebody's brother, somebody's son
Somebody's jewel, somebody's love
People, my people, your people, our people
Dreaming of peace in a place where there's none
