(Verse 1) I've been in foxholes, I've been in storms Felt the kinda cold that just ain't warm Had the whole damn world just turn its back Left me standin' on a burned-out track When the food is gone and the money's spent And you find out who your real friends ain't There was only one who came to call The one who'd help me through the fall (Chorus) 'Cause he's my brother. The only truth in a world of lies He's the anchor when the waters rise The calm that's in a hurricane's eyes He ain't never judged, he ain't never strayed Just picked me up from the mess I made He's the only one who truly understands My brother, with these calloused hands (Verse 2) I've made mistakes, I've done my dirt Put my own damn family through the hurt Had the whole town whisperin' my name Just another soul for them to blame I've been the sinner, been the fool Breakin' every single golden rule But he just looked at me and said, "I know." "And I ain't ever gonna let you go." (Chorus) 'Cause he's my brother. The only truth in a world of lies He's the anchor when the waters rise The calm that's in a hurricane's eyes He ain't never judged, he ain't never strayed Just picked me up from the mess I made He's the only one who truly understands My brother, with these calloused hands (Bridge) Yeah, I been thinkin' 'bout that kinda love The kind that's gotta come from up above Cause a woman like me, I don't deserve A single ounce of that steady nerve (Outro (Outro / Prayer) So now I'm talkin' to the Man upstairs I know You hear my broken prayers Thank you, Father, for seein' me through And for the greatest gift I ever knew You showed me what a brother's love could be When you gave up Jesus, my brother, for me Yeah, Jesus, my brother, to the very end My God, my Savior, and my only friend.
