Brother John

Brother John - Thousand Foot Krutch

I saw this child who never smiled

I told him that's no way to live your life

I saw him kneel down on his knees

As he said please please please

It's as if I could see inside his mind

And it reminded me of mine

And it became clear that he belonged here

And he promised me he'd try

If only you could have been there

With me and my brother John

We tried so hard not to carry on

But it was so obvious to everyone who was around

Let me know if you see him around

Let me know if you see him downtown

I know there is something better than this

I know there is

There's gotta be

I know there is something better than this

I know there is

I know there

Is a place where I can just hang out

With the friends who I brang out

We can have some laughs smile and drink and have a good time

With all the people we get

Who I could never forget

La la la la la la

Lot of things that I would like to say

To you in your troubled state

But it's so hard when you're so good at keeping it to yourself

And wait till the sun comes up in the morning

If you come back we'll find a place for you
