Brother to Man

   My brother got it in his head that he's ready to be a man
   He signed up for Duty; He's gunna gun for Uncle Sam
   With dreams in his eyes, he said, "This one's for me
   I'm finished with school, And it's time for me to leave."

::CHORUS::
           And the tears roll down
           I don't know why
           Momma asks me if I'm scared,
           Is that why I cry?
           I've been thinkin' about him,
           I've never been so proud
           That happiness I see within,
           And it makes my heart pound
           Yet the tears roll down
                    --roll down

   I can see that hope surrounds him
   I can see the strength he will be someday
   What is it that he's fighting for?
   This, he cannot convey.
   "I wanna chance to face the world,
   I got a fight on my hands."
   It's a duty and an honor,
   This I understand

CHORUS

   He's just a young boy, of 18 years
   Only two years older, I can recognize his fears
   The answers that he's looking for
   He's got to find by his-self
   And while that gun will change him,
   It won't answer the questions that he's dealt

CHORUS

   It will be a while now before I see him,
   There's no doubt in my mind, he'll be okay
   But the boy that I've barely known,
   Is going to die and fade away
   A man he'll be when I see him again
                --How much is he going to change?

CHORUS
