Brother's keeper


Verse 1:
Will I walk, will I talk, will I open up my heart
Can he trust me when I give him my word
Will I judge him, or love him,
Put nothing above him, help him to see what he’s worth
Can I tend to his needs when he’s down on his knees
Can I still see the light in his eyes
Can I lend him a hand, let him still be a man
Will I run or stand by his side?

Chorus:
Am I my brother’s keeper?
(yes I am)
Am I my brother’s teacher?
(yes I am)
Am I the one to reach him?
(yes I can)
Am I my brother’s keeper?
(yes I am)
(yes I am)

Verse 2:
When he’s pushed to the edge, when he’s out on a ledge
Can I help him to think with his heart?
When he’s wrong, when he’s right
I’ll be there to remind him, he’s made in the image of God
When he struggles with troubles
He needs to know that his mistakes don’t define his life
I’m a living example that there is a chance for redemption on the other side

Chorus:
Am I my brother’s keeper?
(yes I am)
Am I the one to teach him?
(yes I am)
Am I the one to reach him?
(yes I can)
Am I my brother’s kee?er?
(yes I am)
(yes I am)
(yes I am)

Sing together like hey yeah
(yes I am)
Am I my brother’s teacher?
(yes I am)
Am I the one to reach him?
(yes I can)
Am I my brother’s keeper?
(yes I am)
(yes I am)
Am I my brother’s keeper?
(yes I am)
Am I my brother’s teacher?
(yes I am)
Am I the one to reach him?
(yes I can)
Am I my brother’s heather?
(yes I am)
(yes I am)
