Tell me brother tell me Where have you been to? You know you've been gone a while And I prayed you'd make it through If I never said it, you can come home any time And I hope you know my friend that your place is next to mine Take my hand and lift it up And together we will stand
And they'll know us by our love Brother brother Forgive me my friend If I don't hear you right I won't always understand The darkness of your night But if my love for you isn't bigger than your fears The day that you come back home, I will gladly say through tears
