lyrics

At 28 years old, I don’t care much for money,
My only care is the time that I share,
With those that I love and who love me.
You get what you give so I give what I can,
And I’m trying to be a more generous man.
So come my friends and brothers,
And please heed the call!

I’ve grown since I’ve left home,
In some ways worse some better.
I talk too much and don’t listen enough,
And I never reply to your letters.
We should live to dream and not dream to live,
So come my friends and brothers,
And please heed the call!

If you don’t know the words,
Then just hum the tune,
The troubles you’re in,
Will be over soon,
So come my friends and brothers,
And please heed the call!

I make no special claim, to speak on behalf of others,
I just try my best to meet each new test,
And be there for my brothers.
You won’t change the world,
If you don’t have the heart,
But saying I love you’s,
A pretty good start.
So come my friends and brothers
And please heed the call!

If you don’t know the words,
Then just hum the tune,
The troubles you’re in,
Will be over soon,
So come my friends and brothers,
And please heed the call!
