The Neighborhood

Brother finds trouble on the street

A piece of rock to make men weak

Trembling eyes at everyone he meets

Sister holds her baby in the bed

Dreams and wishes dancing in her head

A love forever is what he said

That's what he said

Father leans back in his easy chair

A pint of whiskey, just sits and stares

He don't know and doesn't really care

Mother works at a nine to five

Hardly makes enough to keep alive

She bows her head with  tears in her eyes

Thank you, Lord, for another day

Help my brother along his way

Please bring peace to the neighborhood, to the neighborhood

Grant us all peace and serenity

They're just songs sung on a dirty street

Echoes of hope lie beneath their feet

Struggling hard to make ends meet

Thank you, Lord, for another day

Help my brother along his way

Please bring peace to the neighborhood

Thank you, Lord, for another day

Help my brother along his way

Please bring peace to the neighborhood, to the neighborhood

To the neighborhood, to the neighborhood
