Brotherhood of Man - from "We Walked in Song" Songtext

von Innocence Mission

All day, since your haircut in the morning,
You have looked like a painting, even more than usual.
We are in the wind, planting the maples.
We meet an older man who seems to know
I miss my dad.
And he smiles through the limbs.
We talk easily with him
Until the rain begins.
This is the brotherhood of man.

Waiting at the airport on my suitcase,
A girl traveling from Spain became my sudden friend,
Though I did not learn her name.
And when the subway dimmed
A stranger lit my way.
This is the brotherhood of man.

I never can say what I mean
But you will understand,
Coming through clouds on the way.
This is the brotherhood of man.
