[Verse 1]
Brother, oh brother
What have I become?
In the morning I'll be with you
And if not, then in the morning I'll be gone
Sister, oh sister
Where have we been?
In the morning I'll be with you
And if not, then in the morning I'll be dead
[Chorus 1]
Once my promises were bent
I never knew quite what they meant
But ever since they turned true, now they belong to you
Now they belong to you
[Verse 2]
Papa, oh papa
What have I become?
In the morning I'll be with you
And if not then in the morning I'll be gone
Mama, oh mama
Where have we been?
In the morning I'll be with you
And if not then in the morning I'll be dead
[Chorus 2]
And my words will turn to bones
And build houses out of stones
To start a family on their own
Out of everything I've grown
And I'll never leave you alone
