Brother

Brother why'd you have to go?
 You left us all so soon
 Remember that song I wrote about your family years ago?
 Well, they're waiting for you to come home
 What do I do? What do I say?
 And dad tells me to pray
 So I've prayed and prayed, but the hurt won't go away
 The pain gets worse, it never stops
 And I've asked the Lord for us to swap
 I beg and plead 'cause you have kids to feed
 Why is it always stormy weather?
 And brother, tell me if it all gets better
 Why did you leave? Why did you die?
 You finally made your brother cry
 I know you're watching over us tonight
 And I hope you're watching over us tonight
 
 I'm sorry I missed your call
 
 I wasn't there for you at all
 And know I thought it through, maybe if I answered you
 That you would still be here, all along
 Now no more calls, can't you see?
 I took for granted family
 And once they're gone, you'll never get that back
 No more laughs, no more hugs
 So hold on to the ones you love
 Your soul is free, I love you Anthony
 And why is it always stormy weather?
 And brother, tell me, when does it get better?
 Why did you leave? Why did you die?
 You finally made your brother cry
 I know you're watching over from above
 So hold on to the ones you love
