Brother

When we were young life was so unjust At times I felt it was just us Momma workin' hard to put food on the table All on her own she sacrificed Even when my sisters and brothers died Somehow she stayed strong I never saw her cry I was the oldest and responsibility Was so immense, the tension, we'd disagree So I left, at the time I felt she hated me Told me to be strong Told me to hang on, hugged me tight And said "big sister it'll be alright" ~*CHORUS*~ Brother I love ya Little brother I thank god for you every day Little brother I love ya Little brother, And I pray he'll never take you away When my soul withered and I lived in the dark An emptiness it filled my heart You never stopped holdin' me up And never stopped tryin' to open me up The days 'n nights I spent stressin' The years I spent in depression, this is my confession Thought about endin' it sometimes But the second you crossed my mind I knew, I could never leave you Made me believe You set me free To this day all I say and do owe it all to you ~*CHORUS*~ Brother I love ya Little brother I thank god for you every day Little brother I love ya Little brother, And I pray he'll never take you away Ooh I would lie for you, cry for you Bride or die for you Touch the sky for you If you ask me to There's nothing I won't do I took this life for joke I would drink or smoke To ease away the pain And forget the memories in my brain But you helped me to stop the rain Oh brother brother ~*CHORUS*~ Brother I love ya Little brother I thank god for you every day (every every day) Little brother I love ya Little brother, And I pray he'll never take you away (Pray he'll never take you away *Repeat*
