Brothers Unaware Lyrics
Brothers Unaware
So many people
I know only a few
Yes I may say that I love this man
And that man
But whaat keeps me from loving you?
Date of birth, geography
The color of my skin, ideology
You got ten fingers, two legs, one nose
Like me
Just like me
And it's as simple as that
You see
And if I don't know who to love
I love them all
And if I don't know who to trust
I trust them all
And if I don't know who to kill
I may kill myself instead
From the mouth of a baby
Will come the world saving words
That will sve us all
And from the lungs of a child
Will come the everlasting breath of God
Increasing peace and honesty
And not carrying on despite of me
Don't you know
This ain't about no race no creed
No race, no creed
And it's as simple as that
You see
And if I don't know who to love
I love them all
And if I don't know who to trust
I trust them all
And if I don't know who to kill
No suicide
I'm already dead
I know only a few
Yes I may say that I love this man
And that man
But whaat keeps me from loving you?
The color of my skin, ideology
You got ten fingers, two legs, one nose
Like me
Just like me
You see
I love them all
And if I don't know who to trust
I trust them all
And if I don't know who to kill
I may kill myself instead
Will come the world saving words
That will sve us all
And from the lungs of a child
Will come the everlasting breath of God
And not carrying on despite of me
Don't you know
This ain't about no race no creed
No race, no creed
You see
I love them all
And if I don't know who to trust
I trust them all
And if I don't know who to kill
No suicide
I'm already dead

This is Ed saying that if you have no trust or love in anybody in this world than there is no point in living. "Mental Jewelery" is a CD that you need to listen to a few times to appriciate it. This is, lyrically, my second favorite Live CD after "The Distance To Here"
Easily my favorite +LIVE+ song - it's just amazing...as InstantKarma mentioned "Mental Jewelry" is one of those CD's you need to listen to a few times to really appreciate it...and it's easily in my favorite 3 CD's on time. Simply amazing - Live are just awsome full stop. "Pain Lies On The Riverside" and "Mother Earth Is A Vicious Crowd" are my other 2 favorite songs from it! YYEEWW!
I listened to this last night for the first time in a long time and I don't care to interpret anything but I think this song is ok, the bridge is awesome and the chorus is pretty cool but I don't really like the beginning or the verses. It also seems to drag on but it's alright so 2 out of 5 stars is my rating. But maybe I just haven't heard it enough.
We are all siblings. Related by the soul. It is simple. To hate a man is to hate your brother. To hate a woman, your sister. To kill another, is to kill yourself. But to love? To love someone is to say that you understand this simple truth. We are here to be one, greater than each part and yet each part important and to be cherished.
LOL...you know who to "love." Y...A...W....N. (Mr. easy way who follows the numbers on the calendar and looks for the youngest and weakest to prey upon:)
