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
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
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
