lyrics

Farewell brother
Smiles to each other
You were not here long,
And now off and gone
But it's like no time has passed

Once a brother
And always my brother
They said your looks have changed,
But no one stays the same
And they shouldn't anyway

Farewell brother
Go with our father
And sleep well on you flight,
Use well this night
To cut these worlds in two

Think back brother -
I hope you discover
That miles are just hours,
And they have no power over family

Wherever you go
And whatever you hear
You always can know
There is family here
However you change
From whatever you see
One thing remains -
You're a brother to me

And as children
We couldn't be bothered
Camcorders and laughs
In the old photographs
It was simple and good to play

And if family
Could choose one another
Nothing would change
We'd stay the same
I would choose you anyway

Wherever you go
And whatever you hear
You always can know
There is family here
However you change
From whatever you see
One thing remains -
You're a brother to me, oh
One thing remains
You're a brother to me, oh
One thing remains
You're a brother to me
