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

Ah-a-ah-a-a-a-ah-ah



Treat him well, he is your brother

You might need his help some 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

Ah-a-ah-a-a-a-ah-ah



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
