Alan Guno - Prayer For My Brother lyrics

He used to wear a small toy fireman’s hat An old red raincoat that was torn And then he’d rescue me out of the fire As he would save the day once more Some other times, he’d wear a plastic badge Pull me over in the driveway Cuz I was speeding on my tricycle He’d say I’ve got to mind my way Now, 20 years past Brother he wears a completely new outfit But can our family stand Just one more day So when you close your eyes at night Please say a prayer for my brother And Ask God to keep him well As he keeps us safe, you’ll see He left our home and went away Cuz someone needs him more than I do I pray so hard just to believe Cuz I still need my hero please Just bring my brother back to me And now a candle burns in St. Joan’s Church Our family’s hopes within it blown We pray the angels take this light to him So he can find his way back home Momma prays every day Little Bro Billy gets quiet for hours Even Dad whispers words When he’s alone So when you close your eyes at night Please say a prayer for my brother And Ask God to keep him well As he keeps us safe, you’ll see He left our home and went away Cuz someone needs him more than I do I pray so hard just to believe Cuz I still need my hero please Just bring my brother back to me I pray so hard just to believe Cuz I still need my hero please Just bring my brother back to me
