As I wake I see the signs that the world's forever changed
If hell on earth could be imagined, it became truth today
Amidst the flames I watched the brave
Sacrificed so lives could be saved
And tears filled my eyes as I watched the world become a grave

I know why you had to go inside
I looked and saw the world change before my eyes
I lift my voice to you
For all you had to do
You're a brother of mine
You're a brother of mine

As the dust settles the ashes fall before the dawn
Our nation watches as the leaders fulfill the reasons they were born
Amidst the pain and anger
A light beacons through all the clouds
A light that shines on the rugged flag and yes
We're united proud and strong

I know that I'll never understand the loss of life
I know I saw the world change before my eyes
I lift my voice to you
A new hope being true
You're a brother of mine
I know my god is true
He will deliver you
You're a brother of mine
You're a brother of mine

We stand on hollowed ground
Where all my brothers lost and found
We're all about the colors of the country you can't kill
The colors of the country you can't kill
We're all about the colors of the country you can't kill

Brother of mine
You're a brother of mine
Brother of mine
You're a brother of mine

I lift my voice to you
For all that we've been through
You're a brother of mine
I know my god is true
He will deliver you
You're a brother of mine
A brother of mine
Brother of mine
You're a brother of mine
