So you gave a check to the cleaning man

And you flashed your big smile as he offered his hand

But after you shook it you washed again

And that don't seem like brotherly love

At Christmas time who'd be such a fool

As to not abide by the Golden Rule

Yet we send our children to different schools

And they don't see much brotherly love

We say it's truth that we want to find

But our ears are stone and our eyes are blind

The answer's been there for as long as time

He said "Let there be brotherly love"
