Brother
Sparechange 00 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eighteen years and twenty days
Not enough time left seperate me from you
I've got a few things i'd like to say
While I've still got this on my mind
I dont want to let this pass

They may tell you life's a fight
But it's not the size of the man who fights
It's the fight inside the man.

I can't always be around
That much you know
But i'll always listen
Always do what I can
I hope you choose the path I chose

I've got a few things I'd like to say
While I've stll got this on my mind
I dont want to let this pass
Hope, honesty, integrity




I hope these things they stay with me
So I can be one you look to
