Brothers’ Keeper India.Arie

[Intro]
Brothers and sisters
Testing! Hey yeah

[Verse 1]
Will I walk what I talk? Will I open my heart?
Can he trust me when I give him my word?
Will I judge him or love him, put nothing above him
Help him to see what he's worth?
Can I tend to his needs when he's down on his knees?
Can I still see the light in his eyes?
Can I lend him a hand
Let him still be a man?
Will I run or stand by his side?

[Chorus]
Am I my brother's keeper? (Yes I am)
Am I my brother's teacher? (Yes I am)
Am I the one to reach him? (Yes I can)
Am I my brother's keeper? (Yes I am)
Yes I am!

[Verse 2]
When he's pushed to the edge
When he's out on a ledge
Can I help him to think with his heart?
When he's wrong, when he's right
I'll be there to remind him
He's made in the image of God
When he struggles with troubles, he needs to know
That his mistakes don't define his life
I'm a living example that there is a chance
For redemption on the other side
