My Brother

Intro

Verse 1
You’re a few winters older now,
Confident and strong, I see how.
I walked barefoot down the roads I’d roam,
You were always ahead, leading me home.
A torn-up ball, football in the yard,
Knees all scraped, my clothes in shreds, it’s hard.
You said, “It’ll heal, don’t you worry, hey?
I didn’t know you’d leave so soon that day.”

Chorus
My brother,
My hero, strong and true.
You were there,
Protecting all I knew.
When my world had hit the ground,
You were the shoulder I could found.
My brother,
So dear, so near,
You’re silent now, in a world so clear.
I miss you so. Sleep well, my brother dear.


Verse 2
Do you remember our old backyard,
Chalked words on walls, memories so hard?
You wrote, “Don’t give up, believe in you,
Even when it’s tough, and the doors won’t open too.”
We shared it all, just you and me,
Laughing, happy moments, pure and free.
We knew, “We’re a team, from here to there,”
But you left, and now a blizzard’s in my soul to bear.


Chorus
My brother,
My hero, strong and true.
You were there,
Protecting all I knew.
When my world had hit the ground,
You were the shoulder I could found.
My brother,
So dear, so near,
You’re silent now, in a world so clear.
I miss you so. Sleep well, my brother dear.

Bridge
So many years have passed since you’ve been gone,
So many roads the wind has worn and drawn.
I know, if I should ever fall,
I’ll hear you say, “Get up — we’ll walk it all.”

Chorus
My brother,
My brother,
My brother,
My brother,
My brother.
