My brother O my brother is very ill
I fear he'd go fear he'd tread the thin line
Of oblivion and no amount of pills
No herbs will cure he's beyond medicine

My brother O my brother I'm afraid
Afraid you'd finally take the lonely steps
Your irreversible steps of least said
You'll slip into the unknown softly lapse

You're unaware of us gathering here
Teary eyes waiting, we wait for your sake
By you warm body breathing deeper
Then you usually do I fear you'd not wake

My brother, I can only pray and hope
You'll find strength, be brave and fight on
In you there instilled the way to cope
I believe as they did what had to be done

To help you pull through in every way
And they wired you to every conceivable
Instruments, monitors, gaze everyday
While you lay like a contemplating angel

Brother, I beg you don't choose to end
Succumbed to travel the route to eternity
Going the way of our father who went
Embarked his trip of unreturned journey
