“How can I repay you brother mine? How can I expect you to forgive? Clinging to the past I shed our blood, and shattered your chance to live Though I knew the laws I paid no heed. How can I return your wasted breath? What I did not know has cost you dear, For there is no cure for death. Beautiful mother, soft and sweet once you were gone we were not complete Back thru the years we reached for you alas twas not meant to be and how can I make amends for all that I took from you? I lead you with hopeless dreams my brother I was a fool”
