Lyrics

Brother

Just a young boy when he went away,
I can see him standing there, not knowing where he will be,
And I see my daddy?s face thinking why him not me,
Where have you gone my brother.

Never seems to care just whose his friend,
He?ll walk with you and hold your hand, for hours on end,
Living as an older man with a mind less than ten,
Where have you gone my brother.

What would have been, if you had been just another one of mother?s wishes,
A golden child, so free and wild, you would have carried all their fame and riches?

Brother, brother of mine. I swear, if I could find
Just have the strength the grace and will, that carried you on,
Oh my brother, well you?ve never gone.

Sitting there I wonder what he sees
Does he think what life would be, if he were like me,
Doesn?t seem to feel the evils of life?s jealousy
Where have you gone my brother

Here all alone, my older bro your like a child sleeping snug and curld
It once was said, you like to be left all alone within your special world

Brother, brother of mine. I swear, if I could find
Just have the strength the grace and will, that carried you on,
Oh my brother, well you?ve never gone.

Brother??
