Intro You came to me with one idea, But left me with another. And though that plan will cost our lives I'm proud to call you brother I shadowed you through city streets My teacher till the last You said 'The beauty of the world Hath made you sad, This beauty now will pass' You start out with good intentions To help restore our fallen nation (Call you brother) When thinking of the cost I never thought you'd be the one Through everything I'm proud to call you brother My thoughts now turn to these past few weeks When we were side by side With Joe and Tom and Jim and Sean We stood against the tide Teachers, poets, dreamers, men Heroes unto me Through words and deeds and actions past I thank them all, they taught me to be free You start out with good intentions To help restore our fallen nation (Call you brother) When thinking of the cost I never thought you'd be the one Through everything I'm proud to call you brother Solo: Now I sit in my darkened cell The morning close at hand I pray to God for mother dear That she will understand They'll say to you that we were wrong And traitors of us make But generations still to come, will praise your sons Who died for Irelands sake. You start out with good intentions To help restore our fallen nation (Call you brother) When thinking of the cost I never thought you'd be the one Through everything I'm proud to call you brother
