Lyrics[]

I'm talking 'bout you
I'm talking 'bout me
Long time back when the galaxy was new
Man found out what he had to do
Found he had to eat and he found he had to drink
And a long time later he found he had to think
Uh huh
Yes, think
I'm standing here wondering
What?
If a man tells another man out of my way
He piles up trouble for himself all day
But all kinds of trouble come to an end
When a man tells another man be my friend
Uh huh
My friend
Well, what's it going to be?
There's a mile wide emptiness between you and me
Can't reach across it, hardly even see
Someone ought to take a step one way or other
Let's say goodbye or let's say brother
Brother
Brother
Hey out there
Hey out there
Hey out there
Hey out there
I see you
I see you
I see you
I see you
Let's get together and have some fun
I don't know how to do it, but it's got to be done

The song was written by Charles Napier, Arthur Heinemann, and Craig Robertson, and recorded under the supervision of Wilbur Hatch. It featured vocals by Napier, organ by Clark E. Spangler, guitar by John Caleffie and William K. Pitman, and percussion by Larry Bunker. It was recorded on 20 November 1968.
