My Brother

My brother; my blood
My brother was an extraordinary man
Walked a straight line with his m16 in his hand
Momma and papa couldn't be anymore prouder
Of the son that they raised who's soon to be a father - And I remember
The days when we'd go out and play, watchin each other grow to where we are today
It's hard to stand up here not knowing what to say, just that I love you and I miss you everyday

I'm starin straight you, you don't look the same
I can imagine what they did to you, what did you see? and was there pain?
Did you fight right back?
Were you quite aware?
That you were comin home early tonight and that was your last breath of fresh air

They're folding your flag
With dignity and pride
Dad's holding it in and mommy's clenched to his side
I'm all choked up this isn't fair
Your wife lost all she had inside

We've lost, it we've lost it
We gotta get back on track and move on
But you're a part of us and we can't leave no man behind

My brother; my blood
I miss you I miss you

I miss you... I

My blood

We gotta get back on track

You see my brother was an extraordinary man
Walked a straight line with M16 in his hand
Momma and poppa couldn't be here any longer
They passed away
Just like did their daughter

And the wife said hey boy
Be like your daddy
A soldier, a soldier, a soldier
