lyrics

Brother dear, if you feel you have no voice sing with me, sing with me. Brother dear, if you feel you have no home live with me, live with me. Mother dear, if you fear I’ve lost my faith pray with me, pray with me. Mother dear, if you feel you have no strength lean on me, lean on me.

Sister dear, if you have a broken heart weep with me, weep with me. Sister dear, if you’re afraid to show your face let me see, let me see. Father dear, when the day comes to an end rest with me, rest with me. Father dear, when your time has come to die go in peace, go in peace.

In the cold winter winds and when summer begins,
in what is and has been, may the peace of love win.
When I’m rich, when I’m poor, may I open my door
and my sea and my shore and my heart evermore.

Friend of mine, when I’m tempted to despair help me stand, help me stand.
Friend of mine, when my hope begins to fade hold my hand, hold my hand.
Neighbor mine, when I’m lost and unaware help me see, help me see. Lover mine, when I’m lonely and afraid be with me, be with me.
