Little Brother

Little brother, you ain't so small anymore.
I gotta get over it, take you for who you are.
I remember when I held you with one hand.
Still the same eyes looking up to me for the answers I don't have.

Life is the greatest teacher, so you better make note. Take pride in your agency to get what you want. Who am I to tell you how to be.
I just wanna see you happy.
But there's only so much I can do.

Little soldier, when you're at war with your mind.
Look no further, whenever you need an ally.
Now that we're older, and we both hold pain.
Still the same hands reaching out for me, to help you find your way.

Love is the greatest leader, the only way to go.
Though it don't always keep you out of the cold.
Who am I to tell you how to live, I just gotta tell you how it is. Well there's only so much I can do.

But I would die for you, kill, lie for you if i had to. But I'm not in control of the way you choose. Yeah there's only so much I can do.

Little brother, you ain't so small anymore.
I gotta get over it, take you for who you are.
I remember when I held you with one hand.
Still the same eyes looking up to me for the answer no one has.
