Everyone I know is lonely
and God's so far away
and my heart belongs to no one
so now sometimes I pray

Take the space between us
and fill it up someway
I been waiting for my brother since blessed christmas day

Take the space between us
and fill it up someway

I been waiting for my brother since blessed christmas day

Take a look around you
your spirits ain't so low

You don't speak to anybody
so you can't expect them to know

Everybodys lonesome
only some of us don't care
if you looking for your brother
you coud find him there

Take the space between us
and fill it up someway
I been waiting for my brother since blessed christmas day

O my God you take the biscuit
Treating me this way
Expecting me to help my nabo
No matter what he say
Can't turn the other cheek
It's black and bruised and torn
The world don't seem no better
Since your precious son was born

Take the space between us
and fill it up someway
I been waiting for my brother since blessed christmas day
