Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
And we’ve got
Soviets and Americans – Brothers and
Sisters
Iraqis and Iranians – Parents and Children
Mexicans and Americans – Brother, are
you an alien?
No brother I’m from the planet Earth
And we got
White man and Black man – Brothers
and Sisters
Yellow man and Red man – Parents
and Children
Brown man and every man – Brother,
what’s your Race?
No Brother I’m from the Human Race
Separation, division, it’s so easy to find a
reason
But it all means nothing, when the end
comes crashing down
I’ve heard a million reasons why we
should hate each other
I ain’t heard no reasons why we should
get along
We should get along
And we got
Rich man and Poor man - Brothers and
Sisters
Right wing man and left wing man -
Parents and Children
Businessman and Everyman - What’s
your Classification?
No Brother I think we’re all the same
Yeah Brother I Know we’re all the same
I saw, I saw we’re all the same
And we got
Protestants and Catholics - Brothers and
Sisters
Jews and Hindus - Parents and Children
Christians and Muslims - Hey man what’s
your Religion?
No Brother We’re all God’s Children
We’re all God’s Children
Soviets and Americans – Brothers and
Sisters
Iraqis and Iranians – Parents and Children
Mexicans and Americans – Brother, are
you an alien?
No brother I’m from the planet Earth
And we got
White man and Black man – Brothers
and Sisters
Yellow man and Red man – Parents
and Children
Brown man and every man – Brother,
what’s your Race?
No Brother I’m from the Human Race
Separation, division, it’s so easy to find a
reason
But it all means nothing, when the end
comes crashing down
I’ve heard a million reasons why we
should hate each other
I ain’t heard no reasons why we should
get along
We should get along
And we got

No Brother I think we’re all the same
Yeah Brother I Know we’re all the same
