he was my brother

He was my brother

thre years younger than I

He was my brother

thirty four Years old the day he died


They cursed my brother to his face

Go home outsider

This town's gonna be your buryin' place

He was singin' on his knees

An angry mob trailed along

They shot my brother down no matter what he did

Because he hated what was wrong

He was my brother

Tears can't bnng him back to me

He was my brother

And he died so he could be free

He died so he could be free

brother

Brother


I’ve got to tell you something

You may just disagree

But always time

If you’re in need of assistance

Hold on to me

On to me

This season change your sanity

I’d help you on your feet

On your feet.

Oh brother

My brother’s gone

Oh brother

My brother’s gone

I wanna show you something

Just put your trust in me

Trust in me

I shout and scream and I try

You turn your face from me

You just turn away from me

Hold on to me

Oh brother

My brother’s gone

My brother’s gone

alone

Alone


Let me ask you a question

Will you lend me your ear

Do you know the meaning of emptiness

If not I’ll make it clear

Alone, alone

Nobody knows how lonely it can be

And I’m so tired of being alone.

Let me tell you a story

One you’ve probably heard

One about the man who was lost

And I can tell you in one word

Alone, alone

Nobody knows how lonely it can be

And he was tired of being alone

Alone, alone

Nobody knows how lonely it can be

And I’m so tired of being alone.

There’s an end to the fable

Where does all of this lead

That for everyone who needs someone

There is someone there to need

Alone, alone

Someone is still alone

Alone, alone

Someone is still alone.
