I wish my brother were here,
I wish my brother were here, oh Lord,
Oh Lord, I wish he were here.
I wish my brother were here,
I wish my brother were here, oh Lord,
Oh Lord, if he were here…
If he were here we’d crack a beer and toast the old times,
The hard truths and the cold lies,
The big fish, that become our lives.
I wish my brother were here,
I wish my brother were here, oh Lord,
Oh Lord, if he were here…
If he were here we’d take a ride down to the dock side,
The high tides and the low tides of our lives,
the things we survived.
There ain’t no liar like an honest man,
There ain’t no such thing as a master plan
Its just us, brother you and I,
Brother you and I.
I wish my brother were here,
I wish my brother were here, oh Lord,
Oh Lord, I wish he were here.
I wish my brother were here,
I wish my brother were here, oh Lord,
Oh Lord, if he were here…
If he were here we’d talk of fear and of the future,
Old wounds and fresh sutures,
All the winners and the losers in this game,
and how we’ll never change.
There ain’t no liar like an honest man,
There ain’t no such thing as a master plan
Its just us, brother you and I,
Brother you and I.
Now if the pack that you’re carrying grows too heavy,
And the road that you’re traveling seems too long...
No matter where you roam,
You ain’t on your own,
You can always come back home.
