[Verse 1] Though I never met you And we spoke not a word I will never forget you Through stories that I have heard For you unknown brother My baby's mother is pained Because your soul is in heaven But your memory remains [Chorus] Unknown, unknown brother I'll meet you someday Unknown, unknown brother We will walk through fields where children play [Verse 2] 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 are blue for you We'll smile like pictures Of you as a boy Long before you retired To heavenly joy [Chorus]
