I was born big and strong
Eyes wide open, full of song
Quick to laugh, quick to cry
Wasn’t dumb but not too clever
If that means I seemed to never
Look too hard and question why
But every night in dreams I’d fly
And at the time
I thought you were my brother
And for a while
I listened to you
But as the days
Silently surrendered
Realized what I had to do
Grew up happy most the time
Life was simple, so sublime
No big parties no parades
Friends and family almost normal
Nothing fancy nothing formal
Some might say I had it made
But you and I know how I paid
And at the time
I fought you like no other
And for a while
I gave into you
But through the years
I learned how to suffer
Knowing just what I had to lose
Nowadays are full of wonder all
I knew seems drawn asunder
Scattered here, shattered there
Though the road has turned to water
Gave me neither son nor daughter
Something big is in the air
All that I’ll have to do is care
And now the times
Bring another brother
And for a while
I forget about you
But in the end
It don’t really matter
Nothing I’ll ever need to choose
And now the times
Bring so many brothers
And for a while
I’m forgiving you
But in the end
It don’t really matter
Nothing I’ll ever need to choose
