[Verse 1] We don’t carry the same blood, brother, but you’re the man I claim World never blessed us with the same last name I lost my true brother such a long, long time ago Still feel him in the shadows everywhere I go Every minute of the day, yeah, he’s still on my mind Left a hole in my heart I never thought I’d find Any kind of light to cut through that black Then you showed up, watching my front and my back [Pre-Chorus] You text me every morning, you check in every night In a world so cold, you’re my flicker of light We ain’t bound by blood, but we’re bound by pain By the way we hold each other up in the rain [Chorus] Brother from another mother, you’re the rock in my storm You keep my broken spirit just a little bit warm I know your nights are heavy, and your days run long But I’m right here beside you, trying to keep you strong When the world feels empty and your heart feels wrong Lean on me, my brother, I’ll help you carry on I’m proud of you, my brother from another mother You don’t know your own strength, but I do, like no other [Verse 2] I can see you in the mirror, searching for your fight Reaching through the darkness, begging for some light You walk them lonesome alleys where the lost hearts go And you keep on moving, even walking slow You tell me that you’re tired, that you’re worn down thin But you wake up each morning and you still check in You think you’re on the edge, about to come undone But you’re the bravest kind of broken I have ever known, my brother [Pre-Chorus] You text me every morning, you check in every night You don’t see it, brother, but you keep me upright ‘Cause every time you fight through another bad day You remind me that my own pain won’t have the last say [Chorus] Brother from another mother, you’re the rock in my storm You keep my broken spirit just a little bit warm I know your nights are heavy, and your days run long But I’m right here beside you, trying to keep you strong When the world feels empty and your heart feels wrong Lean on me, my brother, I’ll help you carry on I’m proud of you, my brother from another mother You don’t know your own strength, but I do, like no other [Bridge] So when the silence in your room starts talking too loud When the weight on your chest feels like a funeral shroud When the bottle’s on the table and the tears won’t fall You just reach for that phone, brother, make that text or give me a call I’ll be right on the line, at all cost To pull you back from the edge when you’re feeling lost You gave me back my courage, gave my heart its beat So I’ll stand right here, won’t let you taste defeat [Verse 3] You never quit, no matter how rough it gets You walk through every fire with your regrets You say you’re just surviving, but I swear it ain’t true You’re teaching this old wounded soul what it means to pull through Every day you wake and ask if I’m okay Brother, that’s the rope that hauls me through my day one men, one woman, two stories, one unbroken chain Holding each other upright through the hurt and the strain [Pre-Chorus] You text me every morning, you check in every night Two scarred-up hearts, still standing in the fight And when your spirit shakes like it’s going to fall down I’ll be there, steady, going to turn you around [Chorus] Brother from another mother, you’re the rock in my storm You keep my broken spirit just a little bit warm I know your nights are heavy, and your days run long But I’m right here beside you, trying to keep you strong When the world feels empty and your heart feels wrong Lean on me, my brother, I’ll help you carry on I’m proud of you, my brother from another mother You don’t know your own strength, but I do, like no other [Outro] No, we don’t share blood, but we share this road Share these scars, share this heavy load until my last long breath and my final day is through I’ll be standing in your corner like you stood in mine too Brother from another mother, hear these words I say: You give me strength to live, to see another day And as long as I’m breathing, you won’t face it alone You’re my brother, my family, more than flesh and bone.
