India Arie - Brothers Keeper lyrics

rate me

Brothers and sisters!

Hey!

Will I walk what I talk

Will I open my heart

Can you trust when I give him my word

Will I judge him or love him

But nothing above him

Help him to see what he’s worth

Can I attend to his needs?

When he’s down to his knees?

Can i till the light in his eyes

Can I lend him a hand

And he’ll still be a man

Can I run but still be by his side

I am 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 am!

Am I my brother’s keeper?

Yes I am!

Yes I am!

Can he push 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’s troubled with troubles

He needs to know

That his mistakes don’t define his life

I’m a living example that there’s a chance for redemption

On the other side

I’m my brother’s keep

Yes I am!

Am I the one to teach him?

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!

Sing together like

Hey!

Am I my brother’s teacher?

Yes I am!

Am I the one to reach him?

Yes I am!

Am I my brother’s keeper?

Yes I am!

Yes I am!

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 am!

Yes I am!

Yes I am!

Yes I am!
