Brother


listen hear 

listen brother

i am near

i will make sure you will grow up strong

to be

happy

take control

of the present

cause it is a

gift from heaven 

on your feet!

learn how to live

it's hard out there 

in the world

trust me 

you will thank me

in the end

 

you should learn

from me now

then you'll know

the reasons why I always tell you to 

read to me

so you can

be happy

then I'll know 

that's you'll grow

to be 

strong like me
