<p>PRAYER FOR MY BROTHER</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He used to wear a small toy fireman’s hat</p>
<p>An old red raincoat that was torn</p>
<p>And then he’d rescue me out of the fire</p>
<p>As he would save the day once more</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Some other times, he’d wear a plastic badge</p>
<p>Pull me over in the driveway</p>
<p>Cuz I was speeding on my tricycle</p>
<p>He’d say I’ve got to mind my way</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now, 20 years past</p>
<p>Brother he wears a completely new outfit</p>
<p>But can our family stand</p>
<p>Just one more day</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So when you close your eyes at night</p>
<p>Please say a prayer for my brother</p>
<p>And Ask God to keep him well</p>
<p>As he keeps us safe, you’ll see</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He left our home and went away</p>
<p>Cuz someone needs him more than I do</p>
<p>I pray so hard just to believe</p>
<p>Cuz I still need my hero please</p>
<p>Just bring my brother back to me</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And now a candle burns in St. Joan’s Church</p>
<p>Our family’s hopes within it blown</p>
<p>We pray the angels take this light to him</p>
<p>So he can find his way back home</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Momma prays every day</p>
<p>Little Bro Billy gets quiet for hours</p>
<p>Even Dad whispers words</p>
<p>When he’s alone</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So when you close your eyes at night</p>
<p>Please say a prayer for my brother</p>
<p>And Ask God to keep him well</p>
<p>As he keeps us safe, you’ll see</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He left our home and went away</p>
<p>Cuz someone needs him more than I do</p>
<p>I pray so hard just to believe</p>
<p>Cuz I still need my hero please</p>
<p>Just bring my brother back to me</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I pray so hard just to believe</p>
<p>Cuz I still need my hero please</p>
<p>Just bring my brother back to me</p>
<p> </p>
