Brother

One night when I was driving

From the place I used to go

Saw a pair of head lights

And a car I didn't know

I pulled over, asked the driver

Hey man, where you going?

He said, I don't know

But I need to get there

You see, this truck is all but broken

And my life is just the same

How do I even bother?

When my kid's don't know my name

I'm not trying to make excuses

Don't wanna pass on all the blame

But I don't know

How did I get here??

He said

Say a prayer

For me now

Won't you brother?

I'm so lost

Say it loud

Like my mother

I can't speak

I'm too proud

Like my father

Say a prayer

For me now

Won't you brother?

So we drove a little further

To a place I'd been before

Like cold water it hit me

When he opened up the door

To a small house in the country

There were pictures on the wall

Of places I remember

And people I recall

He said, son you're nothing like me

But I'm so glad that you're here

Then he cried and said, I'm sorry

And I've missed you all these years

And I don't know

How did we get here?

Before you go

Can we just sit here?

He said say a prayer

For me now

Won't you brother?

I'm so lost say it loud like my mother

I can't speak I'm too proud

Like my father say a prayer

For me now

Won't you brother?

He said say a prayer for me now

Won't you brother?

I'm so lost

Say it loud like my mother

I can't speak I'm too proud

Like my father say a prayer

For me now

Won't you brother?

He said say a prayer

For me now

Won't you brother?

I'm so lost

Say it loud like my mother

I can't speak, I'm too proud

Like my father say a prayer

For me now

Won't you brother?
