All I Need Is My Brother
You were just my brother
Every morning as I'd get out of bed
Mom and Dad in the kitchen holding coffee mugs as they shake their heads
"We've tried everything we could"
"The rehab hasn't done any good"
Rehab? But...
You were just my brother
Things got worse so I started to pray
I'd cry as I watched you fight with Mom and Dad
I'd scream as the police cuffed you, "Please don't take him away"
I still didn't understand why you left, I mean
You were just my brother
Despite you're mistakes I look up to you
A beautiful canvas full of colorful hues
There is never a worry in the world when I am by your side
For that is why
You are my brother
All I need to come home to with arms stretched open wide
