It’s four a.m. in New York City three a.m. in Dallas
The night is still early here in Frisco
Market street’s still going the same old shows are showing
And I’m still all alone here in Frisco
On the Sunday morning sidewalks, wishin’ Lord, that I was stoned
‘Cause there’s something in a Sunday, makes a body feel alone
And there’s nothin’ short of dyin’, half as lonesome as the sound
On the sleepin’ city side walks, Sunday mornin’ comin’ down
God help the outcasts, hungry from birth.
Show them the mercy they don’t find on Earth.
The lost and forgotten, they look to you still.
God help the outcasts, or nobody will.
The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows when
But I’m strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother
So on we go
He was my brother
Five years older than I
He was my brother
Twenty-three years old the day he died
The world’s goin’ crazy and
Nobody gives a damn anymore.
And they’re breakin’ off relationships and
Leavin’ on sailin’ ships for far and distant shores.
For them it’s all over,
But I’m gonna stay.
I wouldn’t leave anyway.
I know that someday we’ll find a way.
We’ll be O.K.
'Cause I’m your brother,
Though I don’t even know your name.
I’ve discovered that,
Deep down inside, you feel the same.
If you hear the song I sing
You will understand, listen
You hold the key to love and fear
All in your trembling hand
Just one key unlocks them both
It’s there at your command
Come on, people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Oh, c’mon smile a little smile for me, Rosemarie
What’s the use in cryin’?
In a little while you’ll see, Rosemarie
You must keep on tryin’
That’s the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what’s the use in crying?
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
Forget your troubles
Come on get happy
You better chase all you cares away
Shout hallelujah
Come on get happy
Get ready for the judgement day
Gray skies are gonna clear up,
Put on a happy face;
Brush off the clouds and cheer up,
Put on a happy face.
Take off the gloomy mask of tragedy,
It’s not your style;
You’ll look so good that you’ll be glad
Ya’ decide to smile!
Smile, darn ya, smile
And right away watch lady luck pay you a call
I cried, “Oh, Lady Midnight, I fear that you grow old,
The stars eat your body and the wind makes you cold.”
“If we cry now,” she said, “it will just be ignored.”
So I walked through the morning, sweet early morning,
I could hear my lady calling,
"You’ve won me, you’ve won me, my lord,
You’ve won me, you’ve won me, my lord,
Yes, you’ve won me, you’ve won me, my lord,
A long time ago I had a lady to love
She made me think of things I never thought of
Now she’s gone and I’m on my own
A love song has come into my mind
A love song, it was there all the time
Lookin’ back thru the years, I saw my anger
There was things that I could not control
Wanderin’ thru my memories with my darlin’
Now I fall thru the door on my own
On my own again
All alone again
Now I see what it’s like when your away
Though I keep searching for an answer
I never seem to find what I’m looking for
Oh, Lord, I pray
You give me strength to carry on
‘Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
Here I go again on my own
Goin’ down the only road I’ve ever known
Like a hobo I was born to walk alone
I know so many people who think they can do it alone
They isolate their heads and stay in their safety zones
Now what can you tell them
And what can you say that won’t make them defensive?
I know there’s an answer
I know now but I have to find it by myself
Through trouble, rain, or fire
Let’s reach out to something higher
Ain’t no life outside each other
We are not alone
Through trouble, rain, or fire
Let’s reach out to something higher
Eyes open to one another
We are not alone
Oh no, love, you’re not alone
You’re watching yourself, but you’re too unfair
You got your head all tangled up, but if I could only make you care
Oh no, love, you’re not alone
No matter what or who you’ve been
No matter when or where you’ve seen
All the knives seem to lacerate your brain
I’ve had my share, I’ll help you with the pain
You’re not alone
Woh! I’ll be with you
Yes forever if you want me to stay
As long as I don’t get in your way
I want to be with you
Woh! I’ll be with you
