I was a fighter always looking for trouble And my life was so empty there was nothing left to live for But then it happened one night as I got into a fight I could hear someone saying as though he was praying Treat him well he is your brother You might need his help one day We depend on one another Love him that's the only way On the road (on the road) that we're going We all need (we all need) words of comfort and compassion Treat him well he is your brother Love him that's the only way I was a woman never thinking of others And my life was so lonely didn't care for anybody But then I happened to meet a begging man in the street As I turned down his praying I heard someone saying Treat him well he is your brother (brother) You might need his help one day (he's your brother) We depend on one another (brother) Love him that's the only way On the road (on the road) that we're going (that we're going) We all need (we all need) words of comfort and compassion Treat him well he is your brother (brother) Love him that's the only way Treat him well he is your brother (brother) You might need his help one day (he's your brother) We depend on one another (brother) Love him that's the only way he is your brother (brother)
