Lyrics:
pushing and shoving little brother
playful children
threatening to tell on one another
roguish pilgrims
tree climbing double-dutch and glee
siblinghood ties
magic and little bro and me
under young skies

i can't help but see in him an old black man some day
i can't help but see in him an old black man some day

voices that echo ancient strife
craggy faces
carved from a block of jagged life
time misplaces
a seasoned mask with weathered cheeks
weary and wise
slow days of peacefulness they seek
to philosophize

starts a boy, soon grows to be that old black man some day
starts a boy, soon grows to be that old black man some day

of all the crevices and falls
age will give him
one might be claimed by sibling brawls
way, way back when
maybe someday he'll think of me
with an old grin
that I never ever let him be
but I loved him

like to think I helped define an old black man some day
like to think I helped define an old black man some day

makes me smile to think of him an old black man some day
makes me smile to think of him an old black man some day

memories that whisper in my ear "let's go play!"
