Brothers

(album: Greg Bates - 2012)

They knew all about you from the day that you were born
Your highchair, weight in ounces, the face that we adored
But when it came to naming you Mom and Dad weren't sure
But that's what brothers are for

I can still remember your first day of school
And I know I didn't say it then, but I was worried too
And I know that Momma woulda walked you through that door
But that's what brothers are for

Yeah I know we've had our share of fights
And I've come close to killing you a few times
But I woulda gone down in flames just to see you soar
Cuz that's what brothers are for

I thank God that you could be here today
Cuz standing next to you means so much to me
As she walks down the aisle, I know I'm not alone
Cuz right beside me is the best man I've ever known
And I know we've had our share of fights
And I've come close to killing you a few times
But I woulda gone down in flames just to see you soar
Yeah, I wanna see you soar
Cuz that's what brothers are for
