But take good care of your mother and remember to be kind
That there are those who feel themselves exiled
Take good care of each other
Though the world may make you hard and wild
On whom the fortune never smiled
Should one thing or another take you from behind
Among the thoughts that crowd your mind
And upon whose life the heartache has been piled
Let the disappointments pass let the laughter fill your glass
And you sort among the stories you've been told
They're just looking for another lonely child
When you're looking for something of your own
Take good care of your brother
Let your illusions last until they shatter
Take good care of your mother when you're making up your mind
There won't be many that ever really matter
And when you've found another soul who sees into your own
Take good care of each other when you're thinking you're alone
Take good care of each other
And the answers to your questions are hard to hold
If some pieces of the picture are hard to find
Beware of each other
When you've come to feel that you're the only child
And determine how your life is styled
Whatever you might hope to find
When the pain of another will serve you to remind
