Dear Brother

And I’ll ask you, my dear brother
Won’t you please lend a helping hand
My life's last good fortune
Ran away with my twenty hens
Ant a way to feed my family
Not a prayer of sleeping tonight
And I’ll ask you, my dear brother
Won’t you help me see the light
'Cause I’ve been waiting
On a prayer to ease my troubled mind
I’ve been waiting on something
To gone calm these raising tides
You’ve been living real well
And I’ve been watching you smile
I’ve been waiting on someone
To make living feel worthwhile
Hold, holding on
We’re just hold, holding on
We lost everything we own
Can’t make a call without a phone
So I'm shouting on you brother
We’re just holding on
And I hate that we’ll be known
For dame everything we didn’t own
And I’ll ask you, my dear brother
Won’t you please lend a helping hand
My life’s last good fortune
Ran away with my twenty hens
Ant a way to feed my family
Not a prayer of sleeping tonight
And I’ll ask you, my dear brother
Won’t you help me see the light
