Music: chan kinchla
Lyrics: john popper & bobby sheehan

Are you sleeping
Brother john
If you feel like weeping
Brother john
Please won’t you hear me
Brother john
Just wait and see
Brother john

Can’t you see by the will of your hand
You can give it a try and just name your price
And everybody in this rock & roll band
Don’t wanna preach don’t wanna give advice
But the music’s playing and all we’re saying
Is come along and jam
And it’s hard to be believed what can be achieved
With an outstretched hand

Are you sleeping
Brother john
If you feel like weeping
Brother john
Please won’t you hear me
Brother john
Just wait and see
Brother john

The things that hurt just won’t go away
But neither will we
Doesn’t really matter either way cause you’re all you need
To set yourself free
It may sound hard but it’s just a start
To ride that wind
And you ain’t peter pan you’re just a man
You’ll get there again

Are you sleeping
Brother john
If you feel like weeping
Brother john
Please won’t you hear me
Brother john
Just wait and see
Brother john

Just wait and see
Just wait and see
Just wait and see
Just wait and see

Won’t you rise and shine
Won’t you rise and shine
Won’t you rise and shine
Won’t you rise and shine
Won’t you rise and shine
Won’t you rise and shine
Won’t you rise and shine

Won’t you wait and see

Well Brother John went down to the garden
On a long hot summer’s day.
To watch that girl, he would hide in the shadows
As she worked the time away.
With her long black hair and her eyes of fire,
And a body to drive men crazy…!
It was on that day there would be a change
In the world of Brother John.

She felt his eyes and she walked up beside him
And she took him by the hand.
She said, “Brother John, it’s so hard to be holy,
Would you like to be a man?
I will meet you tonight at the monastery wall–
If you’re there we will find out together,”
And the Devil said, “There’s a place in Hell,
For the soul of Brother John!”

Hallelujah! Temptation is here!
It’s not a dream anymore.
Hallelujah! It’s finally here…
I’ve been waiting, I’m waiting, I’m waiting…!

Well Brother John lay tossing and turning
In his bed in the heat of the night.
He heard his name and he went to the window
Where she was in the pale moonlight.
Oh the sins of the flesh are too much to deny!
He was lost to her body forever!
And the Devil laughed and the angels cried
For the soul of Brother John.

Hallelujah! Temptation is here!
It’s not a dream anymore.
Hallelujah! It’s finally here…
I’ve been waiting, I’m waiting, I’m waiting…!

Temptation is here… for Brother John…
Temptation is here… for Brother John….

I saw this child who never smiled
I told him that’s no way to live your life
I saw him kneel down on his knees
As he said please, please, please
It’s as if I could see inside his mind
And it reminded me of mine
And it became clear that he belonged here
And he promised me he’d try

If only you could have been there,
With me and my brother John
We tried so hard not to carry on
But if we’re so optimistic well that one he was around
Let me know if you see him around
Let me know if you see him downtown

I know there is something better than this
I know there is
There’s gotta be
I know there is something better than this
I know there is
There’s gotta be

I know there
Is a place where I can just hang out
With the friends who I brang out
We can have some laughs smile and drink and have a good time
With all the people we get
Who I could never forget
La la, la la la la la la
Lotsa things that I would like to say
To you in your troubled state
But it’s so hard when you’re so good at keeping it to yourself
And wait till the sun comes up in the morning
If you come back we’ll find a place for you
