Lyrics Comment - If All Men Are Truly Brothers Remastered Version - Charles Wright , The Watts 103rd. Street Rhythm Band

Watch out for your friends
Tho they lose in the end
Sometimes they'll try to make a sin
But what is a man without a friend?
We all live within a game
The word, 'Excuse' has many names
Where true friends really come
You can't afford to lose one

If all men are truly brothers
Why can we hurt one another?
Love, peace from ocean to ocean
Somebody please second my emotion
All men were born to be free, yeah
What about you? And what about me, friend?
This world is filled with hate, there's nothing left
Enslave me, you'll never rescue yourself

Jealousy, as I recall
Has always been man's hardest fall
To conquer fear, that's quite a quest
Until we do never rest
A child was born yesterday
Nothing but an innocent babe
Somebody sowed a bitter seed
How could it grow but a bitter weed?
Listen, society, how can you teach, I wanna know
If you don't practice what you preach?

If all men are truly brothers
Why can't we love one another?
Love and peace from ocean to ocean
Somebody please second my emotion
All men were born to be free, now
What about you? What about me?
This world is filled with hate, there's nothing left
Enslave me, you'll only hurt yourself
Hey you, I wanna hear, tell me, why did you left?
With all your riches and your fancy things
Tell me something, how many friends
Can you truly say you have?
