You answered the phone when I called late that night
You had my back when I got caught in that fight
You helped me
up all those times I fell
You guided me out of my personal hell
It’s strange how strangers can come together
And for this circumstance we are both better … off
Both
as individuals and as men
And through it all we’d both do it again
We don’t share DNA, we don’t even share a name
Yet through it all, you’re my brother all the same
We
live our lives and go about our separate day to day
But I’m with you, brother, every step of the way
Our kids come together and they play
And we hope that their kids will do the same one day
We watch some football
and have some beer
We talk about life and those things we fear
We’ve redefined what it means to be family
‘Cause you and I don’t share a branch on a tree
Yet
we share an unspoken love that bonds like no other
A bond that can only be defined as that of a brother
It’s in the lyrics of a classic tune
It’s in the games we watch on Saturday afternoon
It’s in the
motorcycles rides that take us away
It’s in all those bar tabs you decided to pay
It’s our respective better
halves keeping us straight
It’s knowing because of them we’re able to be great
It’s in keeping perspective
every time we compete
It’s in living a life that is full and complete
We don’t share DNA, we don’t even share a name
Yet through it all, you’re my brother all the same
We
live our lives and go about our separate day to day
But I’m with you, brother, every step of the way
