My Brother

When I was young
My mother taught me to love
When I grew up
I found that it could be tough

When I was a child I learned to trust
Oh, so easily
But when I grew up
I saw it was so not so easy

I was gently taught
To love all my brothers
No one said it would
Be easy, my brother

Easy it is to love the ones
Who care for you
Easy to help
Those who have seen you through

But told was I to even love the ones
The one who have hurt me
And no one said
It would be easy

I was gently taught
To love all my brothers
No one said it would
Be easy, my brother

I was gently taught
To love all my brothers
No one said it would
Be easy, my brother

I never thought that I could achieve this love
And peace inside my heart
With God you know you can make a different life
And make a brand new start

I never thought I could ever love my brother
Oh, so very much
For him, I will always be there

I was gently taught
To love all my brothers
No one said it would
Be easy, my brother
