[English]

You are still my brother

Till the end of time

You and I we lost our way

Differences of mind

Till the end of time

Listen to me Brother

I can't take your place

No one else can wear your face

That's the work of grace

Till the end of time

And here is my problem

Hey, I think you got me wrong

I am sorry for the riches that I found

I didn't mean no harm

So tell me where you're bound

You're welcome in my town

But if you try to force my compass 'round

I'm gonna stand you down

You are still my brother

Till the end of time

No one else can take your place

Difference is divine

Till the end of time

And here is my problem

Hey, I think you got me wrong

I am sorry for the riches I took home

I know I crossed a line

But show me what you've found

You're welcome in my town

But if you try to force my compass 'round

I'm gonna stand you down

Till the end of time
