Brother find trouble in the street
Fists of rock that make men weep
Stumbling eyes at everyone he meet
Sister hold her baby in the bed
Dreams and wishes passing through her head
Love forever is what he said
That's what he said
Father lean back in his easy chair
A pint of whiskey just sitting there
He don't know, he doesn't even care
Oh Lord, ha
Mother work her nine to five
Hardly make enough to keep her alive
She bow her head with tears in her eyes
Thank you Lord for another day
Help my brother along the way
Please bring peace to the neighborhood
Grant us all peace and serenity
Beggar songs sung on the dirty street
Sounds of hope lie beneath their feet
Struggling hard to make ends meet
Thank you Lord for another day
Help my brother along the way
Please bring peace to the neighborhood
Oh Lord
Thank you Lord for another day
Help my brother along the way
Please bring peace to the neighborhood
To the neighborhood
To the neighborhood
To the neighborhood, yeah
To the neighborhood
Thank you Lord for another day
Help my brother along the way
Please bring peace to the neighborhood
