Brother

I know it’s been a couple seasons too long

Since you last seen the leaves turning green

Waitin’ for a change in the ozone

Standin’ on the edge of eternity

The storm is only temporary though

I can tell you that without a weather man

You don’t need a permanent solution

There’s too many of us that’ll hold your hand

Woa, brother you don’t have to go

Woa, brother you don’t have to go

The world is spinning ‘round on account it burns

Against the way the hands on a clock turn

Strugglin’ to find why to coexist

Reachin’ out to time that isn’t relative

I wish you realized how much you mean

To everyone around you that you cannot see

Blinded by the flash of society

Sometimes it’s hard to find the focus that you need

Woa, brother you don’t have to go

Woa, brother you don’t have to go

Woa, brother you don’t have to go

Woa, brother you don’t

It makes me sick when I think that

One second goes by and you feel trapped

Stuck hidden inside what you built up

Anyone would grab your hand if you reached back

Think about all the lives you affected

Touched on someone else and their blessings

Made someone else laugh with a message

Changed somebody’s day for the best of

Think about all the people that love you

There’s always someone there you can run to

Always someone on the road that’ll guide you

Closer than they appear in the rearview

And sometimes see through

I know it’s tough tryin’ to stay connected

When everyone’s so damn neglecting

Like fuck the others, fuck the world

How dare you disrespect me

And I know it’s just not possible

To understand about another man’s pain

Are you selfish for wanting to leave?

Or am I for wanting you to stay?

I know it looks like a dead end

With no sign of revenge

But I know if you keep those legs goin’

You’ll tread the water in the deep end

Just enough so your head breathes

Just enough so your eyes see

All those on dry land that are reaching out for you desperately

You think time ran out and you had enough

But think about what you do when you’re leavin’ us

You’re takin’ our lives with you brother

Maybe we need you more than you need us

Woa, brother you don’t have to go

Woa, brother you don’t have to go

Woa, brother you don’t have to go

Woa, brother you don’t have to go

Brother you don’t

Brother you don’t

Brother you don’t

Brother you don’t have to go
