Brother

Brother, why'd you have to go?

You left us all so soon

Remember that song I wrote about your family years ago?

Well they're waiting for you to come home

What do I do?

What do I say?

And dad tells me to pray

So I've prayed and prayed but the hurt won't go away

The pain gets worse, it never stops

And I've asked the Lord for us to swap

I beg and plead 'cause you have kids to feed

Why is it always stormy weather?

And brother

Tell me if it all gets better

Why did you leave?

Why did you die?

You finally made your brother cry

I know you're watchin' over us tonight

And I hope you're watchin' over us tonight

I'm sorry I missed your call

I wasn't there for you at all

And no, I thought it through

Maybe if I answered you

That you would still be here, all along

Now no more calls, can't you see?

I took for granted family

And once they're gone you'll never get that back

No more laughs, no more hugs

So hold on to the ones you love

Your soul is free, I loved you Anthony

And why is it always stormy weather?

And brother

Tell me when does it get better?

Why did you leave?

Why did you die?

You finally made your brother cry

I know you're watchin' over from above

So hold on to the ones you love
