Lyrics
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*
