Los Lobos - Neighborhood lyrics

Brother finds trouble on the street A piece of rock to make men weak Trembling eyes at everyone he meets Sister holds her baby in the bed Dreams and wishes dancin' in her head A love forever is what he said That's what he said Father leans back in his easy chair A pint of whiskey, he just sits and stares He don't know and he doesn't really care Mother works at her nine to five Hardly makes enough to keep alive She bows her head with tears in her eyes Thank you Lord for another day Help my brother along his way And please bring peace to the neighborhood Grant us all peace and serenity They're just songs sung on a dirty street Echoes of hope lie beneath their feet Struggling hard to make ends meet Thank you Lord for another day Help my brother along his way Please bring peace to the neighborhood Thank you Lord for another day Help my brother along his way Please bring peace to the neighborhood To the neighborhood, to the neighborhood, to the neighborhood
