Brothers |
| War in my baby from my breast |
| Now my name in rank cover my chest |
| Twenty-three hours I flew and wept |
| Twenty-three hours I never slept |
| Wiped my face, changed my soaking bra |
| Told my body not to feel at all |
| Tried to be like you, what must I do |
| To prove that I’m a brother too? |
| I thought RPGs were fireworks |
| That’s how green I was at first |
| Blood blistered feet, black and blue |
| I slid inside my blood filled boots |
| Seventeen-pound pack, push you on my back |
| Spilled my blood on the road, man, I carried my load |
| Kept you in my view, I’d die for you |
| Don’t that make me a brother too? |
| It’s okay to cry, that’s what you said |
| But if I do I’m damned anyway |
| I learned to cry without a sound |
| 'Cause I’m afraid you’ll put me down |
| You broke my heart on Veteran’s Day |
| Don’t you understand the words you say? |
| You raised a flag for the men who served |
| What about the women? |
| What do we deserve? |
| I was just like you when the bullets flew |
| I had your back, you had mine too |
| Brothers in arms, your sisters covered you |
| Don’t that make us your brother too? |
| Say it for me, say it for you |
| Your sisters are your brothers too |
