lyrics

Brother of mine
never shared all the secrets inside
fiery eyes, gazed up into the sky
Mother always put you first
bragged about how much your worth
years would pass before I'd see
the Glory that stood next to me

Now I am torn inside
Your words, are they truth or lies
I believe, that eventually
You will pull me into Your light
Brother please keep me in your sight

Onward You went
asking them to repent
a passing of time
until you would pay for your crime
beaten, mocked and broken down
later raised with trumpet sound
when they hung You on a tree
my Brother gave me eyes to see

Now I am forced to find
this light that You hold inside
I believe, that it began
on the day that the veil was torn
till You rose on that Sunday morn'
