Lyrics

My Brother, My Friend

VERSE
I saw my brother standing mom and dad by his side. Not by a lonely gravesite, but in bright shining light. He had a smile on his face and called me by name. He said: Don't be sad now I'm rid of all the pain.

CHORUS
He was a fire fighter knew all our city streets. He was a loving a father who cared about his family. He was a good provider making our lives much brighter. From start to end! He was my brother my friend.

VERSE
I hear his voice in the wind, as he whispers in my ear, feel his touch walking in the rain, realize he is near. I find peace in knowing I'll see him again, until then there's much to do and I'll do what I can. (Repeat Chorus)

BRIDGE
Life is a gift, no one knows when it will cease. We can live life to its fullest and hope we find peace. (Repeat Chorus)
