[Verse 1]
When we were young
Life was so unjust
At times I felt it was just us
Mama working hard to put food on the table
All on her own she sacrificed
Even when my brothers and sisters died
Somehow she stayed strong
I never saw her cry
I was the oldest and responsibility was so immense
The tension, we'd disagree
So I left, at the time I felt she hated me
Told me to be strong
Told me to hang on, hugged me tight
And said, "Big sister, it'll be alright"
[Hook]
Brother, I love ya
Little brother
I thank God for you every day
Little brother
I love ya
And I pray He'll never take you away
[Verse 2]
When my soul withered and I lived in the dark
An emptiness, it filled my heart
You never stopped holdin' me
Never stopped tryin' to open me up
The days and nights I spent stressin'
The years I spent in depression
This is my confession
Thought about ending it sometimes
But the second you crossed my mind
I knew I could never leave you
Made me believe
You set me free
To this day, all I say and do, I owe it all to you
