Brother
Gavin DeGraw NEEDTOBREATHE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Get a little restless from the searching
Get a little worn down in between
Like a bull chasing the matador is the man left to his own schemes
Everybody needs someone beside em’ shining like a lighthouse from the sea
Brother let me be your shelter
I’ll never leave you all alone
When you’re low
Brother let me be your fortress
When the night winds are driving on
Be the one to light the way
Bring you home
Face down in the desert now there’s a cage locked around my heart
I found a way to drop the keys where my failures were
Now my hands can’t reach that far
I ain’t made for a rivalry I could never take the world alone
I know that in my weakness I am strong, but
It’s your love that brings me home
Brother let me be your shelter
I’ll never leave you all alone
I can be the one you call
When you’re low
Brother let me be your fortress
When the night winds are driving on
Be the one to light the way
Bring you home
And when you call and need me near
Sayin' where'd you go?
Brother I'm right here
And on those days when the sky begins to fall
You're the blood of my blood
We can get through it all
Brother let me be your shelter
I’ll never leave you all alone
I can be the one you call
When you’re feelin' low
Brother let me be your fortress
When the night winds are driving on
Be the one to light the way
Bring you home
Brother let me be your shelter
I’ll never leave you all alone
I can be the one you call
When you’re low
Brother let me be your fortress
When the night winds are driving on
Be the one to light the way
Bring you home
Be the one to light the way
Bring you home

Ramblers in the wilderness we can’t find what we need
Lost souls wandering aimlessly, searching for something we can't pinpoint
Get a little restless from the searching
Feeling agitated and uneasy because we haven't found what we're looking for
Get a little worn down in between
Feeling depleted and exhausted from the journey
Like a bull chasing the matador is the man left to his own schemes
Going after something with blind determination can be dangerous, like a bull charging towards a matador with a red flag
Everybody needs someone beside em’ shining like a lighthouse from the sea
We all need someone to guide us like a lighthouse in a stormy sea
Brother let me be your shelter
I want to protect you and provide a safe haven for you
I’ll never leave you all alone
I'll always be there for you, no matter what
I can be the one you call
You can rely on me when you need someone to turn to
When you’re low
When you're feeling down and out
When the night winds are driving on
When the difficulties of life are in full force
Be the one to light the way
I'll help guide you through the darkness
Bring you home
I'll help bring you back to a place of peace and safety
Face down in the desert now there’s a cage locked around my heart
I'm feeling trapped and defeated, with my heart locked up and guarded
I found a way to drop the keys where my failures were
I've learned from my mistakes and weaknesses, and I've left them behind
Now my hands can’t reach that far
I'm unable to go back and undo my past failures
I ain’t made for a rivalry I could never take the world alone
I'm not in competition with anyone, and I can't accomplish everything on my own
I know that in my weakness I am strong, but
Despite my vulnerabilities, I am capable and resilient
It’s your love that brings me home
Your love and support help me feel grounded and secure
And when you call and need me near
When you're in need of my help and support
Sayin' where'd you go?
Asking where I am, wondering why I'm not there
Brother I'm right here
Reassuring you that I'm here and ready to help
And on those days when the sky begins to fall
During the most difficult times, when it feels like everything is falling apart
You're the blood of my blood
Reminding you of the deep and unbreakable bond we share as family
We can get through it all
Together we are strong and can overcome anything

1 Peter 4:1 | View whole chapter | See verse in context
Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
The "monster" in all of us: OUR SINS AND OUR SINFUL NATURE. It is a daily fight - we all should endure and come out winning every time, meaning: GOING AND SINNING NO MORE.
REPENT – BORN AGAIN:
Keep the 10 commandments,
Study the BIBLE,

And expose the wicked doers:

For this is the WILL OF GOD, what we should all do:
James 2:26 | View whole chapter | See verse in context For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
If we TRULY LOVE - BELIEVE AND TRUST GOD - His Will, we all shall do.
Have an easy day or night.
There is no proof for the soul and the spirit of human? - give them these verses:
James 2:26 | View whole chapter | See verse in context For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. 1 Corinthians 15:44 | View whole chapter | See verse in context It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 1 Corinthians 5:3 | View whole chapter | See verse in context For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, Romans 8:10 | View whole chapter | See verse in context And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
Proverbs 18:14 | View whole chapter | See verse in context The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear? Romans 8:16 | View whole chapter | See verse in context The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
Ecclesiastes 3:21 | View whole chapter | See verse in context Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth? Ecclesiastes 12:7 | View whole chapter | See verse in context Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
Still no proof of the spirit of the human(s)?
If quran seems to try to warn about hell, dose it also CALL US ALL TO REPENATNCE AND TO BORN AGAIN? - if not then the warnings are pointless.
There is no point to warn if not created a way out.
Here we already see that Christianity is still truth - cause CHRST did came - lived - died = mad a way for mankind to be redeemed and to escape the torment, that the whole mankind disserves.
John 14:6 | View whole chapter | See verse in context Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Freemasons are busy trying to get to heaven through the wrong way:
John 10:1 | View whole chapter | See verse in context Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
Therefore all freemasons are thiefs and robbers, more clearly is who they are:
John 8:44 | View whole chapter | See verse in context Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
(freemasonry is a big club and all who is not part from it - should be glad)
In the club belongs:
ROYALS,
POLITICS,
POLICE,
DOCTORS,
FIREFIGHTERS,
BUISNESS MANS AND WOMENS.
Be ye all wise here and avoid ever becoming a member of their club - for freemasonry is a DEATH CLUB AND CULT.

True it is, for there is to MASTERS - GOD and god aka lucifer - know also as mammon.
All must make a choosing: whom we will serve GOD - the heavenly everlasting FATHER for mankind - THE CREATOR or the mammons aka satan aka lucifer aka allah - the god who carries many names and soon to lost his fallen kingdom and be cast into the lake of fire with his demons - without even a small hope for SALVATION.
Mankind have a chance to be redeemed THROUGH CHRIST.
Don`t stay unsaved - don`t throw you only chance to be redeemed and gifted with everlasting life away. Don`t became twice DEAD. Do not go to drown in the regrets and the flames.

Ramblers in the wilderness
We can't find what we need
We get a little restless from the searching
Get a little worn down in between
Like a bull chasing the matador
Is the man left to his own schemes
Everybody needs someone beside 'em
Shining like a lighthouse from the sea
Brother, let me be your shelter
Never leave you all alone
I can be the one you call
When you're low
Brother, let me be your fortress
When the night winds are driving on
Be the one to light the way
Bring you home
Face down in the desert now
There's a cage locked around my heart
I found a way to drop the keys where my failures were
Now my hands can't reach that far
I ain't made for a rivalry
I could never take the world alone
I know that in my weakness I am strong
But it's your love that brings me home
Brother, let me be your shelter
Never leave you all alone
I can be the one you call
When you're low
Brother, let me be your fortress
When the night winds are driving on
Be the one to light the way
Bring you home
And when you call
And need me near
Sayin' where'd you go?
Brother, I'm right here
And on those days
When the sky begins to fall
You're the blood of my blood
We can get through it all
Brother, let me be your shelter
Never leave you all alone
I can be the one you call
When you're feelin' low
Brother, let me be your fortress
When the night winds are driving on
Be the one to light the way
Bring you home
Brother, let me be your shelter
Never leave you all alone
I can be the one you call
When you're low
Brother, let me be your fortress
When the night winds are driving on
Be the one to light the way
Bring you home
Be the one to light the way
Bring you home

This song is especially meaningful for me. My brother died last August. Since we were ten years apart and lived on opposite sides of the country, we were never really close for most of our lives, nothing in common and totally opposite worldviews. That all changed though when a heart defect caused him to lose everything and I brought him to live with me. I was shocked at how easy we were able to talk and communicate after being strangers for so long. Everything just fell into place and it was just us. I'm so grateful we had that chance to reconcile and be brothers even if it was just for a short while.
@kingslayers7
its great you guys were able to connect even if only for a short time, but we are all here for a short time and im sure he enjoyed every moment with you, not everyone gets that chance. :) good luck and God bless
@rickysosa6733
