Learn to see me as a brother instead of 2 distant strangers
And that's how it's supposed to be
How can the Devil take a brother if he's close to me?

Meaning

If we began to show care to members of our communities, and became more tolerant of different types of people, then it will be hard for people to slip between the cracks, as members of the community will be watching out and caring for each other. A paradigm shift in how we view each other really could improve life for everyone.
