Lyrics
Brother do you love me and
Expression of love and a question about the desire to live.
Do you want to live?
Confirmation of the desire to live.
Sister it may break my heart
Acknowledging that living may cause emotional pain.
Yes I want to live
Reaffirmation of the will to live.
But I've got tears in eyes
Admission of having tears in the eyes.
Let no one see me cry
Desire to conceal emotional vulnerability by not showing tears.
I’ve got an aching in my soul
Expressing inner pain that is hidden from others.
That no one will ever know
Feeling a deep ache in the soul kept secret from everyone.
Look there look at the tree
Encouraging observation of nature, suggesting it holds answers.
It'll answer you and me
Implying that nature can provide insights to life's questions.
One look at the sky and it can tell you why
Connecting the sky to understanding the reason for tears.
We got tears in our eyes
Acknowledging shared tears with the world.
Let no one see us cry
Desire to keep shared tears hidden from others.
Got an aching in our souls
Acknowledging a collective ache in the souls of people.
That no one will ever know
Keeping the collective soul pain a secret.
Well if this world should end today
Contemplating the potential end of the world.
Was it worth the while?
Questioning the worthiness of life if it ends today.
I hope that it lasts for a long time more
Expressing a hope for the continuation of the world.
Yes it's worth the while
Affirmation that life is worth living despite challenges.
But we got tears in our eyes
Reiteration of shared tears despite the value of life.
Let no one see us cry
Desire to hide shared tears from the view of others.
Got an aching in our souls
Acknowledging a shared soul ache kept private.
That no one will ever know
Emphasizing the secrecy of the collective soul pain.
No one will ever know
Reiteration that the shared soul pain remains unknown to others.
