You're not a brother
You're not a baby
To your mother
Before all that
Can be called true
There is this person
We know as you
An individual
Of unique thought
Can't be sold
Shouldn't be bought
A single soul
Who makes his way
Learning to live
Day by day
Those who love you
Give advice
You take it in
Then think twice
You own yourself
Even when young
The song you sing
Has already been sung
By those with years
Behind their eyes
Who have lived the truth
Through painful lies
We wish you'd learn
By watching us
Then we wouldn't worry
We wouldn't fuss
But you learn alone
As we all did
We make our own
Sleeping bed
No matter the lessons
Learned by others
By concerned fathers
And adjusted brothers
It's a life all yours
As you push and you shove
And we let you come through
In unconditional love
Don't worry be strong
Because all your mistakes
Create a wisdom
That only life makes
Live and learn
Work and earn
Be cool don't burn
Grow with each turn
