I got my brother
I can feel him now
He might not be here,
but he's still mine
I know he still loves me
Got my hands
Doin' good like they're suppose to
showin' my heart
to the folks that I'm close to.
Got my eyes
Though they don't see as far now,
They see more about how things really are.
I'm gonna take a deep breath.
I'm gonna hold my head up.
Gonna put my shoulders back,
And look you straight in the eye....
I'm gonna sing out.
I believe I have inside of me
Everything I need to live a bountiful life,
With all the love alive inside of me
I'll stand as tall as the tallest tree.
