Looking out my window
Peace in the valley just don't come
Though I know that man's my brother
And that I'm the selfish oneThe hour is getting later
It's time we had begun
Knowing something's one thing
But the race must still be runTake care of little jealousies
And talk that kills for fun
And hold your heart in readiness
It's so easy to come undoneBut I think I saw a brand new light
Coming over the horizon
Brighter than all the others
And it says all men are brothers under the skin
Brothers under the skinLooking out my window
Peace in the valley just don't come
Though I know that she's my sister
And that I'm the selfish oneAnd I look at all the people
And I love the ones I can
And I wonder if the dream will be
Or be turned into sandStill I think I saw a brand new light
Coming over the horizon
Brighter than all the others
And it says all men are brothers under the skin
Brothers under the skinPeace in the valley just don't come
