Brother – Austin Live

Look at us way back then

Full of life inside our beating hearts

We grew up with a big back yard

We played outside until it was too dark

Oh the summers of the past

They always seemed to last so long

And I was your brother

Climbed up high in all these trees

Riding bikes with band-aids on our knees

Now the years they go by fast

Our lives have changed and there’s no going back

And oh those summers never end

In you I found my first best friend it’s true

And I am your brother

I am your brother

Oh we’re riding out the storm

In you a whole new world it forms around you

I am proud to be your brother

I’m proud to be your brother

I will always be your brother

Learning to deal with my regrets

And all the words that were never said
