lyrics

I was younger than the mountain
And much older than the tree
I was leaping from the Ocean
When you crawled out from the sea
I was ancient when you learnt
To light the fire and work the ground
I had a million years of History
Before you began to hunt me down

Brother Can you help me
For I know you hear my song
I’m sad and I am weary
I don’t know what I done wrong
For you hunt me and you kill me
And there’s nowhere left to run
Ah Brother can you help me
For there’ll be silence when I’m gone

I was there when Jesus walked upon
The sea of Galilee
And when Rome it burned ah the earth still turned
I swam wild and I was free
I was innocent and wild eyed
When you set foot on Virginia’s shore
And I laughed and cried as so many died
In your endless crazy wars

Brother Can you help me
For I know you hear my song
I’m sad and I am weary
I don’t know what I done wrong
For you hunt me and you kill me
And there’s nowhere left to run
Ah Brother can you help me
For there’ll be silence when I’m gone
