Like A Brother [Beckley/Lamm/Wilson] lyrics

I wake up in the planet's dawn
To find you here beside me
Through the blinds the bands of light
Throw circles round your hair
The passion of the here and now
The sweet taste of the coming
On your lips and in my heart
So naked and so honest

Children laughing in the street
The world grows underneath our feet still yearning
Flowers bursting through concrete
And everything keeps turning

One wild childhood scheme
One impossible plan
A summer song, a lifetime long
A dream we built in the soft sand
The tide rolls in
Wait for your wave
There'll be another
And we will sing
I love you still like a brother

A voice soars to the night
And a million hearts take flight
The crowd still roars, the cheers are yours
But you're not there in the spotlight
The tide rolls in

There is a light filling the dark
That shines across your pillow and pierces my heart
Pick up the phone holding you tight
But I don't know your number that'll bring you home tonight

You say you're coming
But I need something more than talk
So if you're coming
Run don't walk
Run don't walk
Run don't walk
Run don't walk
Run don't walk

Look at the sun alone in the sky

Days when the sun is so clear and bright
A dream thats as real as the stars in the night
I wish for you, always

A heart that can heal when you love in vain
A friend who can hold you through all of the pain
I wish you hope through your share of tears
I wish you peace all your living years
When the moon is high
I wish you were here

The wisdom to trust in somebody else

The promises I made When I was young, unafraid
I hurt so many hearts
And even my own could not escape
It comes to me now

I've seen (oh yeah), I've heard (I've heard)
And now I've finally learned
They're only words
They're only words
I've learned
I've pledged
I've burned
I've burned
And now the world has turned
They're only words
They're only words
Unless they're true
