Unknown Brother

Though I never met you and we spoke not a word

I'll never forget you through stories that I've heard

For you, unknown brother, my baby's mother's pained

'Cause your soul is in Heaven, but your memory remains

Unknown, unknown brother

I'll meet you someday

Unknown, unknown brother

We'll walk through fields where children play

Your eyes shined bright when you were a kid

Your sisters loved you and all that you did

Big brother, big brother, don't worry a bit

Your flame has not faded since the day it was lit

Your life was joy

Your mama's only boy

And when the skies are blue

Big brother, they're blue for you

We'll smile like pictures of you as a boy

Before you retired to heavenly joy

Unknown, unknown brother

I'll meet you someday

Unknown, unknown brother

We will walk through fields where children play
