Brother S Keeper lyrics

`Now the plummer`s got a drip in his spigot
The mechanic`s got a clank in his car
And the preacher`s thinking thoughts that are wicked
And the lover`s got a lonely heart
My friends ain`t the way I wish they were
They are just the way they are

And I will be my brother`s keeper
Not the one who judges him
I won`t despise him for his weakness
I won`t regard him for his strength
I won`t take away his freedom
I will help him learn to stand
And I will ~ I will be my brother`s keeper

Now this roof has got a few missing shingles
But at least we got ourselves a roof
And they say that she`s a fallen angel
I wonder if she recalls when she last flew
There`s no point in pointing fingers
Unless you`re pointing to the truth

And I will be my brother`s keeper
Not the one who judges him
I won`t despise him for his weakness
I won`t regard him for his strength
I won`t take away his freedom
I will help him learn to stand
And I will ~ I will be my brother`s keeper

I will be my brother`s keeper
Not the one who judges him
I won`t despise him for his weakness
I won`t regard him for his strength
I won`t take away his freedom
I will help him learn to stand
And I will ~ I will be my brother`s keeper`
