lyrics

Take me home, take me home
to where we grew
Where I became a man; and so did you
From the sound of old cartoons
To those lazy autumn afternoons
We’ve shared highs
We’ve had lows
Sometimes we had to improvise
And told each other white lies
Taking pride in all things you
You believed in me so I started to too

Brother, Oh Brother
You reap the seeds you sow
Brother, Oh Brother
A long, long time ago
You showed me what to be; you knew what I could be
Brother, Oh Brother
Half of you is all of me
Half of you is all of me

Write it down; write it down
To where we grew
Where I become a man & so did you
The strength you show me
And brother, you’re a Stone
From navigating life
To burying our first dog
We’ve shared highs
We’ve had lows
Sometimes we had to improvise
And told each other white lies
Taking pride in all things you
You believed in me so I did to too.
