The Brave Brother

Remember when we were small we had a bad mother,
but you had to step in and be the big brother
Ma would drink, and then she’d turn mean
She would try to hit us but you would jump in between
You had to grow up before your time
To make sure we were all right and keep us going tight
Because that wicked witch didn’t give a sh*t
Only for you we wouldn’t have grown bright
That’s why I pray for you each and every night
