Brother
Chase Curl Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wasn't close to you like your friends back home
But I knew your name and I knew your soul
You wore the badge and you wore it with pride
You gave your all 'till the day you died
This wasn't the first that we ve all been through
You came back when they needed you
Heaven itself has gained another
Hero who died that I called my brother

I wish you could have stayed in our lives
But God had better plans for you in sight
Brother, I hope you're up there soarin' high
Brother, this is not my last goodbye
I'll know your name 'till the day that I fall
And I know that this wasn't your last call
Brother...

You talked to me on the road some days
You made me laugh then you'd say "Stay Safe"
You endured it all with a sense of pride
Now you've moved on to a better life

I wish you could have stayed in our lives
But God had better plans for you in sight
Brother, I hope you're up there soarin' high
Brother, this is not my last goodbye
I'll know your name 'till the day that I fall
And I know that this wasn't your last call
Brother...




You talked to me on the road some days
You made me laugh then you'd say "Stay Safe"

Overall Meaning

The song "Brother" by Chase Curl is a tribute to a fallen soldier who died in the line of duty. The opening lines of the song suggest that although the singer may not have been close to the soldier, he knew him well enough to recognize his courage and dedication to his duty. The soldier wore his badge with pride and gave his all until the day he died. The line "heaven itself has gained another hero who died that I called my brother" is particularly poignant, as it suggests that the singer and the soldier were not related by blood but were still part of the same brotherhood of soldiers.


The second verse of the song suggests that the singer had some personal conversations with the soldier before his death. These conversations may have been brief and fleeting, but they were enough to leave a lasting impression on the singer's mind. The soldier's sense of humor, coupled with his unwavering commitment to his duty, is lauded in the song. The chorus of the song is a prayer for the soldier's soul to rest in peace and for his spirit to soar high in heaven. The singer promises to remember the soldier's name until he himself passes away, and he acknowledges that this is not the last call for his fallen brother.


Overall, "Brother" by Chase Curl is a heartfelt tribute to the courage, dedication, and sacrifice of a fallen soldier. It is a reminder that even those who are not related by blood can be part of a tight-knit community bound by a shared goal and a sense of duty.
