we might disagree
sometimes it's just you
sometimes it's just me
we cant break the chain,
so we must spare each others pain
it's the livin', the dying, the laughin', the cryin'
that brings us together again, ooh again

brother to brother.
the sound that we all understand
that we are brother to brother
why must we make it so hard
there will always be more to bring us together
than to ever keep us apart
as long as we stand brother to brother.
ewe, oh, there's a world breakin' down
and god only knows how long it will go round
if love don't survive there'll be nothing left
here to keep us alive, don't take it for granted
the seed has been planted to heal all the hurting inside, oh inside
brother to brother.
the sound that we all understand
that we are brother to brother
why must we make it so hard
there will always be more to bring us together
than to ever keep us apart
as long as we stand brother to brother.
the roads so long and life's so short
for us to loose our way
we've come this far,
there is no other way, brother to brother
brother to brother.
it's time that we all understand
that we are brother to brother
why must we make it so hard
brother to brother
it's time that we all understand
that we are brother to brother
why must we make it so hard
there will always be more to bring us together
than to ever keep us apart
as long as we stand, oh, as long as we stand
oh, brother to brother, oh, brother to brother.
livin', the dying, the laughin', the cryin'
don't take it for granted
the seed has been planted.
brother to brother, brother to brother.
brother to brother, you are my brother
brother to brother, you are my brother
brother to brother

rodney evans tarafından yönetilmiş olan 2004 yapımı film. film james baldwinin the fire next timedan alıntıyla başlar ve siyah bir eşcinselin beyaz bir adamla ilişkisi, sokaklarda yaşayan 1950'lerde zenci hakları ile mücadele veren ve aynı zamanda eğlenceye fazlaca dalmış olan bir adamla ilişkisini konu eder.

zenci hakları ile eşcinsel hakların zaman zaman çatışması, kimi zaman james baldwin'in eşcinsel olması nedeniyle mücadeleye zarar vermesi gibi politik konulara da hafifce değinen film seyri hoş olmasına rağmen içini iyi dolduramıyor. kaçırılmaması gereken bir film değil; belgesel tadını biraz daha yoğunlaştırsalardı sıradanlıktan biraz uzaklaşabilirdi. ama gene de hoş seyirlik bir film. özellikle eşcinsellik içindeki başka azınlıklardan zencileri konu etmesi nedeniyle oldukça da önemli.
