O Brother
A love song for my siblings... They have been with me from the beginning. I love them more than I will ever be able to say.
Laughter is hiding behind the rising sun, Sweat to the plow now there’s work to be done Passed onto us to carry this heavy burden of that’s just not good enough We four are old souls too old for our years, Lost little children left to cower at the feet of our fears We are full of silent sobs we’re much too afraid to cry. Oh Brother, Sweet Sister, Baby Brother I hold you tightly in my heart Life is a sunny day full of heartache and pain You are always there for me when mine begins to rain Ours is a love of hidden words, hidden pride voiced only on the outside The love we were taught is not one that freely gives Dare I let the words I love you escape my trembling lips Please Except the words in this song as the best embrace I have to give Oh Brother, Sweet Sister, Baby Brother I hold you tightly in my heart Heavenly beings take pause as you walk by If God were a soul inside of you I would find him Heavenly beings take pause as you walk by If God were a soul inside of you I would find her Oh Brother, Sweet Sister, Baby Brother I hold you tightly in my heart
