My brother just said to me Sit right down without delay I just got news and I'm sad to say I'm told I don't have many more days So I asked him how could this be? And then my brother just said to me Fate and chance happens to us all We stand today but in the end we all fall Brother Brother what can I say? Brother I'll love you always Then my brother said to me I have no regrets I had a very good life Then I said my brother You mustn't give up now You have to fight to survive And then my brother said to me I just can't fight, I'm much too weak With tears in my eyes he said to me; "Oh my brother please don't you weep" Brother Brother what can I say Brother I'll love you always Brother Brother Destiny is mystery that none know in advance We live our lives in a dreamy fog with no certainty, just chance Things do turn out different than we expected them to be And what it means to be alive is still a mystery Brother Brother what can I say Brother I'll love you always Brother Brother what can I say Brother Brother I'll love you always Brother
