Well I had a dream I
Stood beneath an orange sky
Yes I had a dream I
Stood beneath an orange sky
With my brother standing by
With my brother standing by
I said brother, you know you know
It's a long road we've been walking on
Yes it is, yes it is, you know, brother it is
Such a long road we've been walking on
Oh brother, oh brother
And I had a dream
I stood beneath an orange sky
With my sister standing by
With my sister standing by
I said, here is what I know now sister
Here is what I know now
Goes like this
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, in your love, in your love
Oh, but you know I am so weary
And you know my heart
My hearts been broken now
Sometimes, sometimes
My mind is too strong to carry on
Too strong, too strong to carry on
When I am alone
When I've thrown off the weight of this crazy stone
When I've lost all care for the things I own
That's when I miss you, that's when I miss you
You who are my home
You who are my home now
And here is what I know now brother
Here is what I know now sister
Goes like this
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, in your love, in your love
Your love now
Well I had a dream I
Stood beneath an orange sky
With my brother and my sister standing by
With my brother and my sister standing by now
With my brother and my sister standing by
Stood beneath an orange sky
Yes I had a dream I
Stood beneath an orange sky
With my brother standing by
With my brother standing by
I said brother, you know you know
It's a long road we've been walking on
Yes it is, yes it is, you know, brother it is
Such a long road we've been walking on
Oh brother, oh brother
And I had a dream
I stood beneath an orange sky
With my sister standing by
With my sister standing by
I said, here is what I know now sister
Here is what I know now
Goes like this
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, in your love, in your love
Oh, but you know I am so weary
And you know my heart
My hearts been broken now
Sometimes, sometimes
My mind is too strong to carry on
Too strong, too strong to carry on
When I am alone
When I've thrown off the weight of this crazy stone
When I've lost all care for the things I own
That's when I miss you, that's when I miss you
You who are my home
You who are my home now
And here is what I know now brother
Here is what I know now sister
Goes like this
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, in your love, in your love
Your love now
Well I had a dream I
Stood beneath an orange sky
With my brother and my sister standing by
With my brother and my sister standing by now
With my brother and my sister standing by

This song is just beautiful. It has a specific meaning for me.
My sister passed away a few years ago at the age of 18. She could put a smile on anyone's face no matter the situation. And when I'm stressed and feel the weight of the world on my shoulders, her presence is what I miss most.
When he talks about his brother, to me he is referring to anyone who has weathered the storms with him. It's an acknowledgment of everything they've been through together.
The orange sky imagery can mean a couple of things. To me it's a sunset than can signify the end of something. The end of the day, the end of a troubled period of time in ones life, or the actual end of ones life. And thoughts/dreams of his "brother" and "sister," at the end of it all, put him at ease.
@Matt2580 I think it’s also about loss. I feel immense loss when listening to it. It makes me feel like he is reflecting and looking up at the sunset and reminiscing about his lost sibling. It’s exactly what I do when my thoughts are consumed by someone I’ve lost or missing someone. I agree with you that referring to brother is also relating to anyone who has lost a loved one
