For a Brother

[Verse 1]

Can't rise from the bottom

Time flies when ya got it

Your time has receded, wasted

Coulda, shoulda been and didn't

[Chorus]

I've given up my hand for a brother

I've given up a hand for free

I've risen and forgiven and I've pardoned

But you set yourself free

[Verse 2]

Nosedive, crash to the bottom

Angel, your wing was always broken

Fought for rights of the prophets

Not for the spirit of your daughters, didn't

[Chorus]

I've given up my hand for a brother

I've given up a hand for free

I've risen and forgiven and I've pardoned

But you set yourself free

[Bridge]

You walk slowly

Seems like time stopped

Seems like I'm slow dancin'

But I'm flyin'

Where do I go?

The home I know is closed

I'm free

Free, yeah

I'm free

Free, yeah

Free

Free, yeah

[Instrumental Break]

Yeah

[Chorus]

I've given up my hand for a brother

I've given up a hand for free

I've risen and forgiven and I've pardoned

But you set yourself free

I've bitten off my hand for the stuff, and

Livin' off the shit you steal

You perished for religious and forgotten

Daughters that you couldn't see

[Outro]

Given up my hand (You set yourself free)

Given up a hand for free

Given up my hand (You set yourself free)

But you set yourself free
