mary gauthier – brothers lyrics
[verse 1]
war ripped my baby from my breast
now my name and rank cover my chest
twenty-three hours i flew and wept
twenty-three hours i never slept
wiped my face, changed my soaking bra
told my body not to feel at all
tried to be like you, what must i do
to prove that i’m a brother too?
[verse 2]
i thought rpgs were fireworks
that’s how green i was at first
blood blistered feet, black and blue
i slid inside my blood filled boots
seventy-pound pack plus you on my back
spilled my blood on the road, man i carried my load
kept you in my view, i’d die for you
don’t that make me a brother too?
[bridge]
it’s okay to cry, that’s what you say
but if i do i’m d-mned anyway
i learned to cry without a sound
’cause i’m afraid you’ll put me down
[verse 3]
you broke my heart on veterans day
don’t you understand the words you say
you raised a flag for the men you serve
what about the women, what do we deserve?
i was just like you when the bullets flew
i had your back, you had mine too
brothers in arms, your sisters covered you
don’t that make us your brother too?
[outro]
say it for me, say it for you
your sisters are your brothers too
