My Little Brother

My little brother

Never got caught

He could slip through your life

Like a subliminal thought

He could play the guitar

Like he was painting a shroud

He could make a mother guilty

And a murderer proud

And i tried to save his life

You can give us gloves my friend

You can't make us fight

When he sang at my wedding

He made the shuttle explode

At the end of the war

He broke the enemy code

I took him back to the country

Where our family is from

He took the government down

And made the cardinal come

He kept a few secrets

He made a lot of mistakes

But he never broke a promise

That he couldn't replace

My little brother
