To play and run with me,
To help me climb trees,
Oh! I need for me a brother,
Who’ll bandage my skinned knees.
To encourage, boost and praise me,
Whenever I feel low,
Oh, I really need a brother,
To help me learn to grow.
Oh, I really want a brother,
Oh, I do, with all my heart,
To be my sun in stormy skies,
And tear the dark apart.
To assure and pacify me,
That the world is on our side,
I do so want a brother,
From I have nothing to hide.
To be strong and wise and helpful,
When my world is falling apart,
I wish I had a brother,
To hold me to his heart.
Someone I can lean on,
When my feet seem to give way,
When there is no trace of light,
And the dark looks ‘here-to-stay’
With me, to watch a rainbow,
When the storms are all over,
I long for an elder brother,
To be my lucky clover.
