And when the veil was lifted I saw my brother to my side
His eyes were red and tearful, he was shaking with such pain
So I asked my little brother if I could comfort him
He looked to me and asked "Why do you bother now?"
It was when I dwelled on earth that I had needed thou
The memories of my past suddenly pained me deeper
A mission I had failed by not being my brother's keeper
And then I almost said "But I had so much to do
Besides I didn't think it was my place to bother you"
Instead I begged "Oh please! Give me one more chance
To help you my dear brother, to change life's painful glance"
I felt a spark of hope knowing that he needed love
The kind that comes from families, from friends, and from above
It was then that I awoke, and was glad it was a dream
But I knew within my heart what this had to mean
I do not want to face him, not like I did before
And I cannot bear to see him in sorrow anymore
So I pray that all his loved ones will kindly work together
So that my precious brother can be happy and forever
