They knew all about you from the day that you were born

Your highchair, weight in ounces, the face that we adored

But when it came to naming you Mom and Dad weren't sure

But that's what brothers are for



I can still remember your first day of school

And I know I didn't say it then, but I was worried too

And I know that Momma woulda walked you through that door

But that's what brothers are for



Yeah I know we've had our share of fights

And I've come close to killin' you a few times

But I woulda gone down in flames just to see you soar

Cuz that's what brothers are for



I thank God that you could be here today

Cuz standin' next to you means so much to me

As she walks down the aisle, I know I'm not alone

Cuz right beside me is the best man I've ever known



And I know we've had our share of fights

And I've come close to killing you a few times

But I woulda gone down in flames just to see you soar

Yeah, I wanna see you soar

Cuz that's what brothers are for



They knew all about you from the day that you were born
