A small group of boys walks down the street 
Throwing a ball in the air 
One says to another 
Hey I'll always be your brother 
I'll always be your friend  
 
[Chorus:] 
Do you remember 
When we thought we were immortal 
And the games we played always had a happy end 
But in the game of life all the roses wither 
And time writes its lines upon your face  
 
Summer's here and three young men 
Drive through the town in the night air 
When fall comes they'll part again 
One turns to another and he says  
 
[Chorus] 
 
It's three A.M. and he's been feeling lonely 
Work's been hard and the city's hard too 
He picks up the phone and halfway across the country 
A brother listens to his blues he says  
 
[Chorus] 
 
Lift your voices loud and clearly 
Sing for brotherhood right now 
Lift your voices loud and clearly 
Sing for sisterhood right now  
 
Sometimes I wish 
That we all were immortal 
And the game of life always had a happy end 
But I know it's not true oh time keeps passing 
But I'm just glad to spend my time 
With you  
 
Lift your voices loud and clearly 
Sing for brotherhood right now 
Lift your voices loud and clearly 
Sing for sisterhood right now
