Well I pass him by on the street each day   Brother, don't you walk away   He's about my size and about my age   Brother, don't you walk away   Down a different road might've been my friend   Brother, don't you walk away   But you never know how the road will bend      Brother, don't you walk   Brother, don't you walk away   Brother, don't you walk away   Tell me why is it so hard to say   Brother, don't you walk away?   Ooh      When you sleep all night on a pillow of stone   Brother, don't you walk away   Do you dream of finding your way back home?   Brother, don't you walk away   Well some might say these are better days   Brother, don't you walk away   But a cardboard box is your home these days      Brother, don't you walk   Brother, don't you walk away   Brother, don't you walk away   Tell me why is it so hard to say   Brother, don't you walk away?      Now the wind blows hard through the holes in your cap   Brother, don't you walk away   While I'm safe inside here in luxury's lap   Brother, don't you walk away   So you walk this land in your worn out shoes   Brother, don't you walk away   Well if this land's mine, is it your land too?      Brother, don't you walk   Brother, don't you walk away   Brother, don't you walk away   Tell me why is it so hard to say   Brother, don't you walk away?   Walk away, walk away      So you look at me with a look so real   Brother, don't you walk away   As I turn away from the things I feel   Brother, don't you walk away   Even here and now as I lie awake   Brother, don't you walk away   Tell me how much difference can one man make?      Brother, don't you walk   Brother, don't you walk away   Brother, don't you walk away   Tell me why is it so hard to say   Brother, don't you walk away?      Brother, don't you walk away   Brother, don't you walk away   Tell me why is it so hard to say   Brother, don't you walk away?      Tell me why is it so hard to say   Brother, don't you walk away?   Tell me why is it so hard to say   Brother, don't you walk away?   Tell me why is it so hard to say   Brother, don't you walk away?   Tell me why is it so hard to say   Brother, don't you walk away?
