Brian Bulger - Brother, Are You on Your Way? Lyrics

When you see me I'll be proud
I'll be crashing out loud
Like the dead black stars
Are still part of the system
And now, now we are too
And now, now we are too

When you met me I was torn
From some cloth I'd never known
And you sewed me up
Into something beautiful
And now, now you are too
And now, now you are too

Brother are you on your way
Sister are you on your way

That night we put on "Carolina"
And it made me think of home
A mess I had no hand in
Torn from a cloth I'd never known
It made me think of paw print tracks
Andrew and his almanac
Soldier brothers off to work
Fathers mind is on a curse
We sleep then wake to pots and pans
Mommas doing the best she can
That hill has scraped my hands and knees
The light slips out behind the trees
The silence builds and pulls and stacks
God, speak and turn it all back

Brother are you on your way
So many things I need to say
You always had the time

Sister are you on your way
So many things I need to say
You always had the time
