You are my brotheryou are my family

And it seems like only yesterdaywe were running wild and free

Down the corner buying candyor messin' 'round in the neighborhood

Hanging out with you night and dayit was goodso good

Lately I've heard you've got the weight of the world on your shoulder

Times have been roughI can't turn the other way



My brothermy brotherwhatcha gonna do

My brothermy brotherhere to help you

Tell me your sorrowstell me your fears

My brothermy brotherI'll always be here



I know that we are differentand we've gone our separate way

But we've got to learn to accept each otherfor who we are today

I know it won't be easybut we both have got to try

To hold onto each otheruntil the day we die

Nobody knows you quite the way that I do

And if you're in troublecome to mecome to me
