Well I’ve been trying so hard lately, brother since you’ve been gone
But you had this magic and I felt like it could save me
And all the others who felt they don’t belong
Well I know you’d be the first to say “fuck black and white”
But man I’m overwhelmed by this guilt I can’t disguise
But when I’m all out of answers and I’m questioning myself
I trust in how you helped me trust myself
Brother, I saw my dreams in your eyes
Brother, we closed ours as we cried
But lets forgive our heaits tonight
‘Cos I saw my dreams in your eyes
Well I’m not lying, I’ve felt crazy
Brother I keep seeing you around
In the corner in the city, be it West End or The Valley
The truth it reaches up to grab me, reality comes crushing down
Brother, our laughter set the streets alight
Yeah as we tan home to Cornwall Street that night
But let ‘s let go of wrong and right
‘Cos brother I, I saw my dreams in your eyes’
And you know it too
Well I know you’d be the first to say “fuck black and white”
But the bombs are dropping, brother and I’m running for shelter
And when I’m all out of answers, I’m questioning myself
I trust in what you gave to me and I don’t have to run for cover
We saw our dreams in your eyes
Yeah brother, well we closed ours as we cried
And you’ll live through our hearts tonight
‘Cos brother we saw saw our dreams, yeah we saw our dreams in your eyes
