Hey, Little Brother

(album: Songs From The Potter's Field - 2002)

Hey, little brother, welcome back home
It's good to see you again
Hey, little brother, welcome back home
To your family and your friends
[x2]

Now you do not know
What your Father's been through
At night He would call out your name
Then for hours untold
He would stare down the road
Praying you'd come home again

Hey, little brother, welcome back home
It's good to see you again
Hey, little brother, welcome back home
To your family and your friends

I must confess I was quite envious
When I heard what Father planned to do
But after I talked to Him
I realized I had been
Almost as far from home as you
I was almost as far from home as you, so

Hey, little brother, welcome back home
It's good to see you again
Hey, little brother, welcome back home
To your family and your friends

Oh, dear brother, run into my arms
And tell me you are home to stay
For there is no other Father like ours
And we're so glad you're here today
Yes, we're so glad you're here today

Hey, little brother, welcome back home
It's good to see you again
Hey, little brother, welcome back home
To your family and your friends
