:: Little Brother ::

Guess I forgot to tell you
Amidst the madness that was Sunday
Momma's slowly dyin'
When Daddy laughs, he's really cryin'
He doesn't want to be alone
He is my guide, but she is his way

Little brother, don't cry
Little brother, hush now
Little brother, please hold onto your faith
I know you don't want to get
Your hopes too high
Little brother, let's pray

Momma's gonna be okay

Guess I forgot to tell you
While we were doing nothing last night
Uncle's in jail again
He thinks every beginning's just another dead end
He don't care anymore
Ain't it a waste of a life

Little brother, don't cry
Little brother, hush now
Little brother, please hold onto your faith
I know you don't want to get
Your hopes too high
Little brother, let's pray

Uncle's gonna change his ways

I watched when you saw
That man on the street
I watched when you heard
Our brother'd been beat
I watched when you watched
The road disappear
As we left behind our home
And you invented new fears
Oh, brother
It's gonna be okay
