Brothers and Sisters Lyrics

Brothers and sisters
The world we share is filled with such despair
And such pain

We're a people at odds with our very own selves
The rich neglect the poor
The young resent the old
We're divided by race, divided by religion

Our politicians rob us and our leaders fail us
I think it's safe to say that we are our only hope

Our speaker tonight is a soldier in the war for love
He carries with him a message of true hope and true peace
I pray that you will listen with open hearts and open minds
Brothers and sisters
Put your hands together and welcome Brother Ali

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
