No Brother No

No, brother, no!
I never asked for this. 

No, brother, no!
I'm sorry for what I did.

I may have pushed and I may have pulled
But I was a child, I am a child. 

Please brother, help me up
Don't throw me down
Don't hurt me again.

Brother stop these angry words, 
Don't be angry with me
Please brother take your fist away.

I never saw parents so blind
They love hime, he could do no wrong
Please mother, open your eyes.

Oh brother, I know now
I see what you see 
Hit me again, hit me with your words once more.

So now youv'e done the damage
Now you see what you have done
Oh please brother hit me again.

I feel what I see inside
You wont hurt me again
Now I will, now I feel the pain.

I deserve this scar tissue
Just as I deserved that bruise

No, brother, no!
Don't walk away

No, brother, no!
you don't feel ashamed

No, brother, no!
Just hit me once again.
