Life wasn’t fair, you were dealt a tough hand
From beginning to the very end
But no matter how hard things would hit you
You never broke, hell, you’d barely bend
I felt joy when you walked up that mountain
Free at last, crossed to the other side
The Father and the Son, beams of light in your doorway
Beckoned to the sweet by and by
They led you on that last walk up the mountain
Forever after, sweet by and by
When eternity reaches out to take me
Baby brother, may I be as brave as you
Find your strength your dignity your wisdom
Trust the Father’s hands to carry me through
