Big Brother

I’ve seen them dying in the rain
A single stone is where they lay
I know you’re crying over him
Don’t keep secrets, let me in

I made a promise to this friend
Because he loved my next of kin
To be there to guide you through the night
You’re gonna need someone, to treat you right

Caught on the rebound, that’s what this is
And the memories of war turn you blind
I know what it means to lose someone you love
And your man was a good friend of mine

I’m your big brother, watching over you
I’m your big brother, looking out for you
I’ll be there when you call
Catch you when you fall
This is me; I’m your big brother

Some guys will take you for a ride
That one I saw you with tonight
He gets around and plays a game
Mister let-you-down, that’s his name

Caught on the rebound, that’s what this is
And the memories of war turn you blind
I know what it means to lose someone you love
And your man was a good friend of mine

I’m your big brother, watching over you
I’m your big brother, looking out for you
I’ll be there when you call
Catch you when you fall
This is me; I’m your big brother
