Brother do you believe in an afterlife Where our souls will both collide In some great Elysium Way up in the sky Free from our shackles, our chains Our mouths, our brains We'll open all the gates And we will walk careless Straight into the light
I've never felt so enlightened With every page I turn I only find myself feeling more alone Posing questions to a silent universe My very thoughts a curse They just seem to multiply Forever in my mind
Brother don't grow up Brother please never grow up
Hold out against the night Guard your hope with your life For the darkness, she will come Oh and you will have nowhere left to run
Oh but your eyes are wider than mine And help me to sleep I just hope that age does not erase All that you see Don't let bitterness become you Your only hopes are all within you
Hold out against the night Guard your hope with your life
