We are Brothers (9/9/10)
By Ian Kingsford-Smith

Playing soldiers in the sand
Remembering days gone by
Talking on into the night
Two beds side by side

Fighting battles on your own
Knowing that you’re never alone
Time’s taken us apart
Nothings really changed

We are brothers, we are friends
Nothing keeps us apart
We are brothers, we are friends
We’ll be together to the end

People and places disappear
Grey clouds roll on in
Friends, family and ties that bind
Try to make ends meet

We are brothers, we are friends
Nothing keeps us apart
We are brothers, we are friends
We’ll be together to the end
