Brother

I will pay for you tears
Sweat and kindness throughout the years
though the deficit you have cannot be filled.

But I'll work day and night
to fill your cup
to make things right
to help you know your dreams can be real.

Oh what can I do
besides cry some tears for you?
and listen to your saga when it's new?

How can I repay
all the blows, how you're betrayed?
by simply standing by and holding on to you?

Who am I to cry?
with my humble, simple love
could I change the past and help you to pull through?

You are strong and course
you found your way through all the dark
there's noone who could pull you out but you.

But in kindness you've not known
you took the love that I had shown
and favored it, let it trickle in.

You used it as you could
in your doubt you made good
and you let me call you brother, fighter, friend.
