CALL ME BROTHER

SOME FOLKS MAY CALL YOU PAUL OR CLIFF,
OR JAMES OR CHRIS OR JOHN,
SOME FOLKS MAY CALL YOU DAVE OR CHARLES,
OR TIM OR PAT OR TOM.

AND SURELY THERE ARE THOUSANDS MORE,
THE NAMES THAT THEY MIGHT CALL,
I´VE NOT THE SPACE, NOR THE TIME,
TO WRITE THEM ONE AND ALL.

BUT THERES A NAME THAT I AM SURE,
WILL FIT YOU BIG OR SMALL,
A NAME THAT WILL CATCH YOUR EAR,
THE MINUTE THAT I CALL.

BROTHER IS THE NAME I MEAN,
BROTHER FOR YOU ALL,
BROTHER FOR THE SHORT GUYS,
BROTHER FOR THE TALL.

CAUSE I WAS NEVER GOOD WITH NAMES,
I GUESS I´LL NEVER BE,
SO I´LL JUST CALL YOU BROTHER,
THAT SEEMS THE BEST TO ME.

AND YOU MAY CALL ME BROTHER TOO,
THE NAME SEEMS HEAVEN SENT,
IN FACT YOU CALLED ME BROTHER,
BEFORE I KNEW WHAT “BROTHER” MEANT.

SO IF YOU NEED ME ANYTIME,
YES ANYTIME AT ALL,
I´M WAITING AND I´M LISTENING,
IF MY BROTHER COMES TO CALL.

CALL ME EARLY IN THE MORNING,
OR CALL ME AT HIGH NOON,
OR CALL ME IN THE NIGHTTIME,
BY THE LIGHT UPON THE MOON.

AND SHOULD A BROTHER COME TO CALL,
NO DANGER I WILL HEED,
I MUST HURRY TO MY BROTHER,
WITH QUICKNESS AND WITH SPEED.

SO IF YOU EVER HAVE A TROUBLE,
SHOULD YOU EVER BE IN FEAR,
THEN JUST CALL UPON ME BROTHER,
IF YOU NEED ME, I AM HERE.

CALL ME BROTHER, WHEN YOU WORRY,
CALL ME BROTHER, WHEN IN NEED,
CALL ME BROTHER, SHOULD YOU STUMBLE,
YOU MAY FOLLOW, I WILL LEAD.

CALL ME BROTHER, WHEN IN SICKNESS,
CALL ME BROTHER, WHEN YOUR MAD,
OR YOU MAY CALL ME BROTHER,
WHEN YOUR HAPPY, WHEN YOUR GLAD.

CALL ME BROTHER, WHEN YOUR LONELY,
CALL ME BROTHER, WHEN YOUR DOWN,
LET ME CHEER YOU AND DELIGHT YOU,
MAKE A SMILE OUT OF A FROWN.
” CALL ME BROTHER” ,THATS THE MESSAGE,
I´M TRYING TO GET THROUGH,
CAUSE IT´S GREAT TO HAVE A BROTHER,
A BROTHER, JUST LIKE YOU !!!!!
