Brother
The Mighty Oaks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We'd run around
The summer in the nighttime
We make no sound
Deep in the forest we get lost
Whistle to the birds as they call
Go on trips
We took to the seas and let it drift
How many islands could we hear?
One, two, three, four
I'd follow you
To the end of the world, if only you would ask me to
On and on we go, my brother I've got you
Nothing to stop us now, because we found in life
What's true
Oh my brother I'd follow you
Whoa
In my faded truck
Shot across the country to find our luck
The youth inside would scream and shout
Like a dagger in the heart we ripped it out
And we had howl through the night
Call the stars by the fire shining on
Through the night
We will run, to the rising life and on
Through the night, burn the flames
The world will know our Names
One, two, three, four
I'd follow you
To the end of the world, if only you would ask me to
On and on we go, my brother I've got you
Nothing to stop us now, because we found in life
What's true
Oh my brother I'd follow you
I'd follow you
To the end of the world, if only you would ask me to
On and on we go, my brother I've got you
Nothing to stop us now, because we found in life
What's true
And I will follow you oh

We had howl ooh
We would yell and make noise in excitement
We'd run around
We would run and play
The summer in the nighttime
We would enjoy the summer nights together
We make no sound
We would be silent in awe of the nature around us
Deep in the forest we get lost
We would explore and get lost in the beauty of the forest
Whistle to the birds as they call
We would mimic the birds and communicate with them
Go on trips
We would go on adventures together
Moving with weather as it shifts
We would adapt to the changes in weather as we explore
We took to the seas and let it drift
We would sail the seas and let the wind take us where it may
How many islands could we hear?
We would wonder how many islands were out there to discover
I'd follow you
I would trust and support you
To the end of the world, if only you would ask me to
I would go anywhere for you if you asked
On and on we go, my brother I've got you
We will continue to journey together, as brothers
Nothing to stop us now, because we found in life what's true
We have found the meaning of life and won't let anything stop us
Oh my brother I'd follow you
I will always follow and support you, my brother
In my faded truck
We would travel in an old, rundown truck
Shot across the country to find our luck
We would explore the country in search of something greater
The youth inside would scream and shout
We would be loud and enthusiastic in our adventures
Like a dagger in the heart we ripped it out
We would remove anything holding us back
And we had howl through the night
We would shout and make noise during the night
Call the stars by the fire shining on
We would marvel at the stars and their light
Through the night we will run, to the rising life and on
We will keep running towards the future
Through the night, burn the flames
We will keep pushing forward with passion and intensity
The world will know our Names
Our names will be remembered in the world
I will follow you oh
I will always be by your side

We had howl
We had run around
In the summer in the nighttime
We made no sound
And deep in the forest we get lost
Whistle to the Birds as they call
Go on Trips
Moving with weather as it shifts
We took to the seas and let it drift
How many islands could we hear?
I'd follow you
To the end of the world if only you would ask me to
On and on we go, my brother
I've got you
Nothing to stop us now
Because we found in life what's true
Oh my brother I'd follow you
In my faded truck
We shot across the country to find our luck
And the youth inside would scream and shout
Like a dagger in the heart we ripped it out
And we had laugh through the night
Call the star's
By the fire shining on
Through the night
We will run
To the rising life and on
Through the night
Burn the flames
The world will know our Names
And I'd follow you
To the end of the world if only you would ask me to
On and on we go, my brother
I've got you
Nothing to stop us now
Because we found in life what's true
Oh my brother I'd follow you
I'd follow you
To the end of the world if only you would ask me to
On and on we go, my brother
I've got you
Nothing to stop us now
Because we found in life what's true
And I will follow you!

We will run, to the rising life and on
Through the night, burn the flames…
