Little brother

So here we stand

Hand in hand, watching the world hurry by

Everyone so busy and stressed out and we're left wondering why

Bumping and shoving, screaming at each other to get out the way

And we're left standing here watching this frightening play


Hold tight my hand little brother

don't let your hand slip out of mine

Hold tight my hand little brother

and everything will be just fine

Where is she big sister? I want to go to mommy

Hold tight my hand little brother

We'll find her soon don't worry


So here we are, we are running

Running past people, under people, with just one thing we are hunting

We see people pushed to the side and thrown to the ground

We run into a blocked street, don't cry, we'll have to go around


Hurry little brother

We have to keep going

Look ahead little brother

The light at the end of the tunnel has begun glowing

There she is little brother

Our other we've found you

Don't cry little brother

We're safe now, after everything we've been through
