Lyrics

Brother, why did you leave
The quicksand is pulling me down
It’s so slow it won’t let go and
my breathing is getting hard

Brother, where did you go
Tell me what do I do
Wonder what if we had known
that we’d spend this time missing you

Brother I cannot see
to scry you out of the mist
Left here, I wept here and I’m
doing my best to keep it

Brother act through my heart
Brother speak through my choice
You still sing in everything
but I wish it was still with your voice

Water flows and wears away the soilwork
No one knows just where the wind will take them
Fire glows from one to one to one again
Flowers grow up from our earthly home

Brother, where did you go
There are no steps I can take
to find you, I’m blind and there’s
far too much at stake

Brother, what do you think
of words carved out of the dark
Brother I wish you were here
to give these pages your mark

Brother to grieve is to wish
for what was stolen away
Warm faces, and embraces
and beautiful music to play

Brother, you helped me learn
and please still help me be kind
and help me remember to love
and stay with my heart and my mind

Water flows and wears away the soilwork
No one knows just where the wind will take them
Fire glows from one to one to one again
Flowers grow up from our earthly home
