Brother
I caught a vision of you
Looking in the mirror
A picture I had seen
Before me all these years
I'd always wanted me to
Follow where you walked
To be the image of this brother I had watched
Well I know dear brother
That the sand it falls away
Into the hour glass
With every passing day
We chose our own roads
But no matter what the cost
I stand before you saying
No, nothing was lost
We may have followed beating hearts and settled down
We may have built a life away in another town
But blood is thicker than the water in the ground
You are my brother with my brother I am found
I have that photo where I'm cradled in your arms
I'm still that boy now offering shelter from the storm
Well I release you from your standing of the guard
I push your boat away and know you will go far
We may have followed beating hearts and settled down
We may have built a life away in another town
But blood is thicker than the water in the ground
You are my brother with my brother I am found
At rest or in motion that we keep
Inside tucked away in lock and key
Some things in this life were made to last
Like brother when I see you, no time has passed
