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
