[Verse 1]
I Never called you by your name,
You were just “Brother,” and I was your “Sis”.
In a world that changed like the wind,
You were the one constant I could put my faith in.
You saw the light in my wild dreams,
You taught me to speak up and how to believe in me.
When the world tried to shut me down,
You’d lift me up, and set me back on the ground.
[Pre-Chorus]
Through every high and every low,
You never let my heart let go.
You told me, “Love n’ hugs, I’ll pick on you tomorrow,”
Now I smile through the sorrow…
[Chorus]
My Brother, my forever best friend,
Your voice still echoes in the wind.
And I believe with every breath I take,
That you’ll be waiting at heaven’s gate.
With a long-lost hug that will make everything alright,
Like you did on my hardest of nights.
Someday, when my journey’s through,
I know you'll be there, just like you used to do.
Because that’s what big brothers do.
[Verse 2]
You saw me when I lost sight,
Helped me feel okay with just being me.
In the silence, I still hear your laugh,
In my heart, you’ve never left.
No one else can take your place,
You loved me with an unforgettable grace.
You were my strength when I felt small,
Even now, you catch my tears when they fall.
[Pre-Chorus]
Through all my struggles, even my deepest of fears,
You held my hand and wouldn’t let go.
You’d say, “Love n’ hugs, I’ll pick on you tomorrow,”
Like there was no time to borrow…
[Chorus]
My Brother, my forever best friend,
Your voice still echoes in the wind.
And I believe with every breath I take,
That you’ll be waiting at heaven’s gate.
With a long-lost hug that will make everything alright,
Like you did on my hardest of nights.
Someday, when my journey’s through,
I know you'll be there, just like you used to do.
Because that’s what big brothers do.
[Bridge]
For every sister, young and old,
Who’s missing arms that once consoled,
Know he's just beyond the blue,
And he’s still watching over you.
Everything happens for a reason, they say,
I know it still hurts every single day.
But Believe me when I say, your bonds will never fade,
Because our Big brothers are waiting just around the bend.
[Final Chorus]
My Brother, you'll always be my light in the dark,
Still this painful beat inside my heart.
I believe when it’s my time too,
I’ll run into the arms of you.
With a hug that will melt away the pain,
We’ll laugh and smile once again.
I’ll hear you say with a voice so true,
“Love n’ hugs, Sis… I've missed you.”
‘Cause that’s just what our big brother will do.
