See my brother he is walking in the sun   His back is bare he carries no burden for anyone   I see the island, a silver line   Brother how you shine   And all around the light   And all around the light      Now I see my father he’s so small against the sky   Child, the tree, the shadow is on his eye   He doesn’t know who he’s supposed to be   Father you are free   And all around the light   And all around the light      Now my momma she is crying on the stair   Her hands are leaves, the light is in her hair   As she prays she thinks that no one heard   Mother you are a bird   Mother you are a bird   And all around the light   And all around the light   And all around the light   All around the light
