Brother
Intro
X 2
You came to me with one idea,
But left me with another.
And though that plan will cost our lives
I m proud to call you brother
I shadowed you through city streets
My teacher till the last
You said The beauty of the world
Hath made you sad, This beauty now will pass
You start out with good intentions
To help restore our fallen nation (Call you brother)
When thinking of the cost I never thought you d be the one
Through everything I m proud to call you brother
My thoughts now turn to these past few weeks
When we were side by side
With Joe and Tom and Jim and Sean
We stood against the tide
Teachers, poets, dreamers, men
Heroes unto me
Through words and deeds and actions past
I thank them all, they taught me to be free
You start out with good intentions
To help restore our fallen nation (Call you brother)
When thinking of the cost I never thought you d be the one
Through everything I m proud to call you brother
Solo:
Now I sit in my darkened cell
The morning close at hand
I pray to God for mother dear
That she will understand
They ll say to you that we were wrong
And traitors of us make
But generations still to come, will praise your sons
Who died for Irelands sake.
You start out with good intentions
To help restore our fallen nation (Call you brother)
When thinking of the cost I never thought you d be the one
Through everything I m proud to call you brother
