Brother

by Chris Rodriguez   Sep 25, 2006


This tide is slowly rising up
Taking me back down
Big brother I need to talk to you
You taught me to never give in
To take this life and give it everything

I'm confused but I'm not lost
Some things don't have a cost
We know this is our youth
And we're just two dumb kids searching for
Our own stage

Everyone is looking for an answer like me
We stagger to the finish line just to start
Another race
No one told us the exact pace
The lucky ones always finish last

Then the water rose on both coasts
And it was taking everything we knew
We're trying to reach the moon
Right now we can't even cross the sea
It's our hearts we want to free

Brother we're going to show them
Who we are
Brother someday these walls
Are coming down
We're going to be one of the free
They'll see

Take me back to that shore
Brother
This is how it's supposed to be
Take me to the place where
Things made sense to me
All the love I had
What a dream we lived those days
Those days...
