Brother Heart
Composer(s): Gary Kemp
Performer(s): Gary Kemp



When the colours of life seep out of your day
and the truth that was standing is now crumbling away
when the question is why does it spread like disease? 
And your rivers run dry, but you’re sunk to your knees

When the sun brings the priest running over the fields 
and you’re sick to your soul of the lies and the deals 
When the moon brings the bleeding of a town in its fate
and there’s no room for dreaming in the shelter of faith
Oh, beat again brother heart, beat again brother heart

When the lines of partition slash a scar through your breed
and the mouths of agreement are all muted by greed
When the lie of the land rolls into your night
look into your soul and look for the light
Oh, beat again brother heart, beat again brother heart

Fly the wings of hope, take the branch to the dove
change the story line, find the truth up above
but when God seems to sleep and misses your life
and your prayers fall to earth like shells in the night
let your broken heart weep and bleed for what’s right
look into your soul and look for the light
Oh, beat again brother heart, beat again brother heart
Oh, beat again brother heart, beat again brother heart
