A siblings fight to survive

Ernie my brother side by side we stood

Through the shadows of a childhood misunderstood

Tears on our faces

No one to hear

Hand in hand

We clung to the fear

Late at night for mom’s bottle we’d turn da cornerandhide

Three kids ourself we fought against the storm

No place to confide

Mentally bruised

Hearts torn and used

We lived our life in fear

Love refused

Physically broken

Words like a blade

Each scar a memory that time couldn’t fade

Stuffing the pain in

It burned like a flame

But Ernie my brother

We bore the same name

We struggled to survive

Drowning in the tide

But your laugh lit the dark

A spark we couldn’t hide

Ernie my brother

Through the tears we grew

A bond forged in fire

Unbreakable and true

Late at night for mom’s bottle we’d turn da corner and hide

three kids ourself against the storm

No place to confide

Mentally bruised

Hearts torn and used

We lived our life in fear

Love refused

Ernie my brother

We made it somehow

The pain shaped us then

But look at us now

Through every shadow

Every tear we cried

Ernie my brother

Forever side by side and through all them memories yet we still survived because only the strong survive
