Some of my earliest memories are of blue skies as far as the eye can see and
some of my earliest thoughts of you are of pain
I know you never meant for that, but that don't change what you have done
I still remember the old oak trees, you and me, us and them swayin' in the wind
A father and a little boy
Sat side by side by an empty grave
And each in his own thoughts he wandered
Which one of them, will find it first
Some times I lie awake at night
Just thinkin' 'bout me and him
I know I know, I love my brother
But father I am jealous of him
How different our lives have been
Him blissfully ignorant
Me carrying the burden for us,
Always remembering
(Chorus)
And brother will you ever know
How hard he fought for us
So despite all the damage that's done
My father I forgive you
