He came from a far away land
To make a fortune with his hands
To a land that was running free
Nightlife took over his soul and the drink ran free
No communication, theres a breakdown
Wanted to make it and get back home
I see my brother running
I see my brother running
Six year old kid with the weight of the world on his back
Makes a fortune for his Asian mom and dad
Learned English by candlelight
Living in lodgings in another mans life
Become white quicker than the white man can
Acquired an education to run in this land
I see my brother running
I see my brother running
I see, I see my brother running
My brother running
Remember the walks down town
Ignorant voices putting us down
Wishing the pigment in my skin would wash away
I Feel apart of the senseless play
Blow after blow I still see that face
To feel inferior by their senseless hate
I see my brother running
If it aint the colour of your skin, its how long your hair is
If it aint the colour of your skin, its what clothes you wear
I see my brother running
I see us all become prejudice men
If it aint the colour of your skin
Theyll find something else
