No Man Is An Island
Embracing Brotherhood: Unity in Compassion
Lyrics
When you are weak I will be strong
Offering strength and support to someone in their moments of weakness.
I'll pick you up each time you fall
Commitment to assisting and lifting someone up whenever they face setbacks.
You are my brother
Expressing a close, familial bond with the person addressed.
I'll help you in your time of need
Promising assistance during the individual's times of necessity.
I'll be a friend to you indeed
Commitment to being a genuine and reliable friend.
I'll be your brother
Reiterating the familial connection and bond.
I'll be the smile upon your face when you are sad
Commitment to bringing joy to the person during their moments of sadness.
I'll be the Father to you that you never had
Offering a fatherly presence and guidance to fill a perceived absence.
We all need each other, won't you take my hand
Emphasizing the interconnectedness of people and extending a hand for unity.
No man is an island, no man is an island
Asserting the theme that no one can exist in isolation.
I look at you and I see me
Recognizing a shared identity and connection between the speaker and the addressed person.
A similar identity
Highlighting similarities in experiences and characteristics.
You are my brother
Reaffirming the brotherly relationship.
The things I own I freely give
Expressing a willingness to share possessions for the sake of harmony.
So that in harmony we live
Desiring a cooperative and harmonious coexistence.
You are my brother
Reiterating the brotherly commitment to bringing joy.
I'll be the smile upon your face when you are sad
Commitment to being a source of joy during sad moments.
I'll be the Father to you that you never had
Reaffirming the role of a fatherly figure for support.
We all need each other, won't you take my hand
Encouraging mutual support and connection.
No man is an island, no man is an island
Repeating the assertion that no one can exist in isolation.
With every man lives a boy inside
Recognizing the inner child within every adult.
The boy who knows he's still Mama's child
Acknowledging the enduring connection to maternal figures.
But every man is blinded by his pride
Noting that pride often blinds individuals.
That's why the man won't let the boy cry
Explaining why men might suppress emotional expression in line with societal expectations.
Of this one thing you can be sure
Promising an end to conflict and strife.
That I will war with you no more
Declaring a commitment to avoid further disagreements.
You are my brother
Reiterating the brotherly connection.
Always, always
Emphasizing a perpetual commitment.
I'll be the smile upon your face when you are sad
Commitment to providing joy in times of sadness.
I'll be the Father to you that you never had
Reaffirming the fatherly support and guidance.
We all need each other, won't you take my hand
Encouraging mutual support and unity.
No man is an island, no man is an island
Repeating the idea that no one can thrive in isolation.
No man is an island, no man is an island
Reiterating the theme that individuals are interconnected.
No man is an island, no man is an island
Final repetition emphasizing the impossibility of complete isolation.
