Brother, I'm in need of a friend for I am drowning in disarray And brother, it is on you I depend to pull me out of this misery Like a hero I've always seen you even though I would never say And through the years the laughter and the tears it's you who were strong in the right and the wrong a tribute to the world that blood is thicker than water I'm tryin' to say that I love you I'm tryin to say that I need you, Brother And father, I'm in need of your hand so I can face the world bravely and father, do you understand what it is you mean to me Like a warrior you always conquered every battle you had to face And through the hard times when life was a bitter fight it's you who would give so unselfish you lived A tribute to the world that blood Is thicker than water I'm tryin' to say that I love you I'm tryin' to say that I miss you Oh, father
