lyrics

Brother, you are
I will always be
Near or far
I will always be
Love in kind
I will always be
So one last time
And I will always be

Oh when you say that I’m in the corner
But I don’t wanna obey for long
Oh when you put your head on my shoulder
And hold me close ‘til I right my wrongs
What’s so hard about a life to die?
Living in the moment, never living on a lie
What’s so hard about a world gone wrong?
Unwrite the past and then we’ll all belong
I know it’s been hard as the pain drew true
Never knowing where to turn as it all fell through
Younger then we were but the words remain
I said once then and I’m gonna say again

/ Chorus /

And on the night you lost it all
Windows broke, cops were called
I don’t think this is my path anymore...

Now we are so grown and old
Won’t you see me as kin again?
Oh I said that I want to brother but my soul won’t take me on back to then
I’m here when you need that voice of calm
But don’t look back, you are ever strong
What’s real is now no matter how we planned
Let the light shine through, oh how tall you stand
And I know it’s all changed as these days went on
But you and me, the boys, they can come along
I fought hard then but fighting harder as we go
For your peace and your joy, it’s all I’ll ever know

/ Chorus /
