I ask you how you are And there's a silence on the line You're living with the virus And you're running out of time But you tell me not to worry And you say you're doing fine Oh my brother, my brother, my friend. You sometimes find the strength To face the living every day But sometimes when I talk to you I don't know what to say For the anger and the pain Are never very far away Oh my brother, my brother, my friend My brother is a man among men A man among the men Who live with courage and with pride Who celebrate their loving And who will not be denied Who live life to the fullest And who love life to the end My brother is a man among men. There are those whose families shun them For their passion and their pain There are those who understand That loving's powerful and plain That my brother is my brother And I love him without shame Oh my brother, my brother, my friend. Some people speak in platitudes And others shrink in fear There ae those who see the guilt And just cannot hold back the tears And there are those who understand That love is what is needed here Oh my brother, my brother my friend My brother is a man among men. The echo of your laughter rings As I hang up the phone Your spirit never falters And it nourishes my own And in the hope that fills your heart You know you'll never be alone Oh my brother, my brother my friend My brother is a man among men
