The Brother I Am Not (80sRetroMix)

He was the storm

I was the calm

He played the fire

I held the balm

When shadows loomed

I lit the way

I stayed behind while he ran away

But they needed me

A steady hand

A quiet voice to understand

I’m the brother he could never be

A lighthouse on a raging sea

When they’re lost

I’m the ground they’ve got

I’m the brother he is not

He chased the thrill

I held the line

He wrote the chaos

I wrote the time

I mended hearts that he would break

A steady drum for their sakes

But they see in me what he won’t see

A bridge to cross when they need free

I’m the brother he could never be

A lighthouse on a raging sea

When they’re lost

I’m the ground they’ve got

I’m the brother he is not
