Brothers In Arms

Ever since I was a young boy Before I'd ever know who I am My father said you got to walk before you can crawl So you can run as soon as you can stand So you can run as soon as you can Now if every breathing day is a lesson I been writing this before I could read When momma said, son, don't let this hard world Do what it's doing to me Don't let it do what it's done to me It's a hard rain that's gonna fall on the city Still a hard rain that's gonna fall on the farm There's no 7th day in a world without pity There's no ball and chain but the change didn't come Where's my better days? Where's my Jesus saves? Where's someone to say? We got to hang on We're brothers in arms Down in southern Alabama It's "Yes sir", "No ma'am", "Thank you", and "Please" But don't you step out of line, don't re-write or define What it means to see a man take a knee Okay, oh, say can you see It's a hard rain that's gonna fall on the city Still a hard rain that's gonna fall on the farm There's no 7th day in a world without pity There's no ball and chain but the change didn't come Where's my better days? Where's my Jesus saves? Where's someone to say? We got to hang on We're brothers in arms We're brothers in arms It's a hard rain that's gonna fall on the city Still a hard rain that's gonna fall on the farm It's a hard rain that's gonna fall on the city Still a hard rain don't give a damn who you are There's no 7th day in a world without pity There's no ball and chain but the change didn't come Where's my better days? Where's my Jesus saves? Where's someone to say? We got to hang on We're brothers in arms We're brothers in arms --- Brothers In Arms - Bon Jovi
