Mmm...
Brother, come and talk with me
Let's go and find some peace
Leave out all the platitudes
No confrontations, please
Cause we're all in different places,
different spaces, different points in life
We're all running different races,
wearing different faces, trying to survive
So I'm hoping for a miracle,
cause we're too adult to fight
I don't wanna be too cynical,
I don't wanna live in spite
Cause I ain't gonna criticize,
cause I don't walk in your shoes
Let's reach a compromise,
cause it's giving me the blues
Sister, what's up with you?
Come and tell me how you've been
Mother ain't a happy cause,
says you're shakin' up in sin
She's from a different gen eration
Expectation sees things
through her eyes
If it's any consolation, show appreciation
At least you know she tries
So I'm hoping for a miracle
Cause we're too adult to find
I don't wanna be too cynical
I don't want to live in spite,
so I ain't gonna criticize
Cause I don't walk in your shoes,
but let's reach a compromise
Cause he's giving me the blues
It's been a while since
I heard I love you
Even though you're far away
I still wonder what you get up to
Cause where you live's
a little colder
You're growing older
Maybe too late for change
Do you ever get to thinking
Have you stopped the drinking
Considering your age
So I'm hoping for a miracle
Cause we're too adult to find
I don't wanna be too cynical
I don't wanna live in spite
So I ain't gonna criticize
Cause I don't walk in your shoes
Let's reach a compromise
Cause it's giving me the blues
I'm hoping
I'm hoping, oh I'm still hoping,
yeah, yeah, I'm hoping
I'm hoping
