Brother, I'm in need of a friend

for I am drowning in disarray

And brother, it is on you I depend

to pull me out of this misery

Like a hero I've always seen you

even though I would never say

And through the years

the laughter and the tears

it's you who were strong

in the right and the wrong

a tribute to the world that

blood is thicker than water

I'm tryin' to say that I love you

I'm tryin to say that I need you,

Brother

And father, I'm in need of your hand

so I can face the world bravely

and father, do you understand

what it is you mean to me

Like a warrior you always conquered

every battle you had to face

And through the hard times

when life was a bitter fight

it's you who would give

so unselfish you lived

A tribute to the world that blood

Is thicker than water

I'm tryin' to say that I love you

I'm tryin' to say that I miss you

Oh, father
