[Intro] One road north One road west One child lost One heart pressed [Verse 1] One child north, one child west One child learned to disappear One child carried anger One child carried fear They had shared the same morning They had shared the same floor Then the world broke open And divided every door [Chorus] Brothers, sisters, missing pieces Pages torn from one old song How do children find each other When the road has been so long Call their names across the years Through the records, through the tears Every child they sent away Still belongs to yesterday [Verse 2] One kept quiet in the corner One kept running from the pain One forgot the sound of home Then heard it in the rain One remembered mother's hands One remembered father's coat One remembered little voices Like a prayer caught in the throat [Chorus] Brothers, sisters, missing pieces Pages torn from one old song How do children find each other When the road has been so long Call their names across the years Through the records, through the tears Every child they sent away Still belongs to yesterday [Bridge] They were not just case files They were not just names They were children of a family They were sparks from the same flame Let the records open Let the truth be known A child may be taken But blood still calls them home [Final Chorus] Brothers, sisters, missing pieces Pages torn from one old song May the broken lines remember Where each little bird belongs Call their names across the years Through the records, through the tears Every child they sent away Still belongs to yesterday [Outro] One road north One road west Still one family Still one nest
