A Brother I Never Knew

I could've seen you get born
count your fingers one by one
but your life had to end
before it had even begun

- I'm sorry i didn't get to know you
i know i would've loved you -

i could've been your playmate
your buddy, your best friend
i could've been your everything
but your life had to end

we could've spent all our time together
sing all kinds of songs all day
but that will never happen
because you weren't here to stay

we could've shared a room
i could've learned you how to write
but i never got the chance
you're already out of sight

even though i never knew you
you'll be in my humble heart
you'll always be inside of me
and so we'll never be apart.
