Brother

You carry a ton on your shoulders
I can see that as you're walking towards me
I try to search for the right words
I can't find them, I can barely speak
Cause I said them all before, but you don't listen anymore
That I can tell
So I'll wrap my arms around you, and wish that I can free you from the spell

Is this the last time I'll see you
I can feel the fear that's coming over me
I know you think you've lost it all
I wish I could convince you, you are wrong
Cause everything is there, you just don't see it any clear
That's how it is
I know that's how you feel, but everything I'm telling you is real
Brother

I should have been there that morning
Cause I feared what could be coming but I was gone
I should have gotten you in my car
And drove us off to somewhere we could be alone
I should have held you in my arms
And told you how much you are loved by everyone (Again and again)
And I should never have let you go until I saw the light back in your eyes
Brother
