Stop weeping for your loss, it's over now

He's finally gone for good.  I hope he's better off

Stop praying for forgiveness, in Heaven he can't

Hit the bottle or his wife, it's gotta be for the best  



Oh please don't cry

I beg you not to weep

You are your brother's keeper

But your brother now, your brother won't keep   



His life wasn't in your hands, there's things here that are

Far beyond your control, death's one of life's demands

Don't worry you're not to blame, don't worry it's no one's fault  



Oh  please don't cry

I beg you not to weep

You are your brother's keeper

But your brother now, your brother won't keep  



What a waste, what a waste

A life filled up with empty rage

What a waste, what a waste

I hope your soul is cleansed when you reach that place  



Oh please don't cry

I beg you not to weep

You are your brother's keeper

But your brother now, your brother won't keep
