Though I never met you And we spoke not a word I'll never forget you Through stories that I've heard For you unknown brother My baby's mother is pained Cause your soul is in heaven But your memory remains Unknown, unknown brother I'll meet you someday Unknown, unknown brother We'll walk through fields where children play Your eyes shined bright When you were a kid Your sisters loved you And all that you did Big brother, big brother Don't worry a bit Your flame has not faded Since the day it was lit Your life Was joy Your mama's Only boy And when the skies Are blue Big brother They're blue for you We'll smile like pictures Of you as a boy Long before you retired To heavenly joy Unknown, unknown brother I'll meet you someday Unknown, unknown brother We'll walk through fields where children play
