Wake Up Brother Lyrics

I mean, at face value it sounds like a girl describing how much she loves her brother that she doesn't see much anymore, and what she feels when she gets news he's going to visit. She sees him in an old photo and is reminded, and sometimes in the media spotlight because of his work. He's either in a band, or a poet, something like that. I get that because of what looks like a reference to a lyric by Jim Morrison: We are like stone...

If you had a sister who thought of you like that, wouldn't your life be fantastic?

I like the way they've used these two lines, one describing a place, the other a kind of rhyming slang:

"And all around is green and yellow" "You cool blue yellow"
